💚 A familiar family back with us… 💚

Twiglet, an 11.5-year-old Border Terrier, came in for her spay and dental— and ended up having 30 teeth removed to get her comfortable again.

You might remember Frazzle, her housemate, who visited us previously… clearly dental issues run in the family!

Twiglet was an absolute superstar throughout and is now resting comfortably, on the road to a much happier, pain-free life 🐾💚

🥊💚 Rocky came out fighting… just not his teeth 💚🥊

This nearly 12-year-old Chihuahua had significant dental disease, so we performed a heart scan first to make sure he was safe for anaesthesia.

He then had 21 teeth removed - a big procedure, but one that will make a huge difference to his comfort and quality of life.

Rocky took it like a champ and is already on the road to a much more comfortable life 🐾💚

🦷 Pet Smile Month Extended Until the End of March! 🦷

Due to popular demand, Pet Smile Month was extended until the end of March, giving even more pets the chance to enjoy healthier, happier smiles.

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in veterinary practice. It can cause significant pain and discomfort, yet many pets hide the signs remarkably well. The good news? When caught early, dental disease is often easily managed and treated.

🦷💚 A big dental day for Ron! 💚🦷

Meet Ron, an 8-year-old Jack Russell who came in for a dental today. After dental assessment, he ended up having 30 teeth removed!

Some of you might remember Harry, the 14-year-old Border Terrier who had 35 teeth removed in January — Ron and Harry actually live together, so their owner is becoming quite the expert in doggy dentals!

The good news is that dogs cope amazingly well without teeth, and removing the diseases ones makes a huge difference to their comfort.

Ron is now recovering nicely and looking forward to heading home later. 💚🐾

🦷💚 Oscar arrived today with 19 problems… and we removed every one of them! 💚🦷

Oscar is a 16-year-old Maine C**n who came in for a dental after struggling with painful teeth. X-rays showed severe tooth resorption, including Type II resorption affecting both lower canine teeth – a condition where the body slowly dissolves the tooth roots.

In total 19 teeth had to be removed to make his mouth comfortable again.

To make things even trickier, Oscar’s mandibular symphysis (the join between the two halves of the lower jaw) was very delicate, so surgery had to be done very carefully to avoid fracturing the jaw.

Oscar is now waking up and heading home later for a much more comfortable retirement. 💚🐾

💚 Meet Ralph 🐶 💚

Ralph is a 1-year-old Cavapoo who visited us this week for his castration — and while he was asleep we also sorted out a little dental issue.

Like many small breed dogs, Ralph still had a couple of baby (deciduous) teeth that hadn’t fallen out when his adult teeth came through. When these baby teeth stay in place they can push adult teeth out of position and trap food and bacteria.

The retained baby teeth were carefully removed during the procedure to give his adult canine the best chance to settle into the correct position.

Ralph recovered brilliantly from his anaesthetic and was soon back to his usual happy Cavapoo self.

💚 Tip for dog owners:
If your puppy still has baby teeth once the adult teeth have come through, it’s worth getting them checked — removing them early can prevent bigger dental problems later.
