Advanced Animal Dentistry

Advanced Animal Dentistry We are Australia's leading provider of Veterinary Dentistry, primarily in South East Queensland. Advanced Animal Dentistry loves teeth!

Advanced Animal Dentistry formed in 2006 when Dr Aaron Forsayeth joined Dr Gary Wilson with his already successful Veterinary Dental referral practice. With the creation of Advanced Animal Dentistry, the referral work expanded across south east Queensland, and has since allowed us to work in many other parts of Australia. As leaders in Veterinary Dentistry in Australia, Advanced Animal Dentistry provides a referral practice to Veterinarians for difficult dental cases; ongoing tertiary education for Veterinary Students in both Veterinary Science and Veterinary Tech courses provided by the University of Queensland; education services for Veterinarians and Nurses online and in-house; Lecturing and workshop opportunities at Veterinary Conferences throughout South East Asia. We've continued to expand in 2015 taking on board a resident, Dr Rebecca Tucker. Dr Tucker has quickly made a place for herself in the practice, and provides another great mind and set of hands to our business - allowing Advanced Animal Dentistry to provide more help to Australian pets. Dr Wilson retired in 2018, and left with AAD his legacy, and Australia in a stronger position with Veterinary Dentistry. Dr Tucker became full partner with Dr Forsayeth and together they have taken AAD forward.

🐾 Understanding Tooth Resorption (TR) in Cats 🐾

Up to 60% of cats over 5 years old may develop tooth resorption – a painful condition where the body begins breaking down the tooth structure.

In the case shown here, an obvious resorptive lesion could be seen on the left mandibular canine (pictured). But with dental radiographs, we discovered that both mandibular canines were affected and required treatment.

This is why radiographs are essential – what you see above the gumline is often just part of the story.

🦷 Subtle signs like fussiness with food, pawing at the mouth, or changes in behaviour shouldn’t be ignored – regular dental checks keep your cat pain-free. 💙

🦷 Myth buster: “If a pet stops eating, it must be their teeth.” Not necessarily!

It’s a common misconception — but in reality, most pets with dental pain continue to eat. They may chew differently, avoid certain textures, or eat more slowly, but rarely stop eating altogether just because of oral discomfort.

So if your pet isn’t eating, it’s important to have them assessed — but don’t automatically assume it’s their teeth. Many health issues can affect appetite, and a thorough veterinary exam is the best way to find out.

Signs that may point to dental discomfort include:
🔹 Chewing on one side
🔹 Drooling or dropping food
🔹 Pawing at the mouth
🔹 Bad breath

✅ Regular dental checks help catch problems early — before obvious signs appear.

🦷 Oscar’s Fractured Jaw – Case Snapshot 🐶

Oscar presented with a fracture of the left mandible — a painful injury needing urgent care.

Under anaesthesia, radiographs confirmed the break, and we placed a wire and acrylic splint to stabilise the jaw and support healing.

Six weeks later, Oscar was back to full function with a healed, stable mandible and a wagging tail. 🐾

🦷 Why Dental X-Rays Matter – Seeing Beyond the Surface 🔍

Many dental problems are hidden below the gumline — including root infections, bone loss, fractured roots, and tooth resorption. These aren’t visible during a routine oral exam.

That’s where dental radiographs come in. They allow us to detect issues early, before they become painful or more complex to treat. With x-rays, we can create the most accurate and least invasive treatment plan for your pet.

🩻 Dental imaging is a vital part of high-quality veterinary dental care — helping us treat issues before it becomes obvious on the surface.

2017 saw expansion into two new established Veterinary Referral Hospitals - Veterinary Specialist Services at Jindalee, and Queensland Veterinary Specialists in North Lakes. Through the year recognistion finally came for Dr Gary Wilson’s amazing knowledge and experience in all Veterinary Dentistry, with him being recognised as a Registered Specialist. Dr Rebecca Tucker is coming close to the end of her formal residency, and Dr Aaron Forsayeth was finally granted permission to start a residency in Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery - the first person to ever do so. Advanced Animal Dentistry loves teeth!
