Animal Dental care in an important part of looking after your pet’s health, as bad dental care can lead to more serious problems.
Effective animal dentistry focuses on the health of your pet's teeth and gums. Most dogs and cats develop plaque and calculus on their teeth which then leads to gingivitis (inflamed and infected gums). The plaque and calculus

At Glenvale, we will assess the health of your pets teeth & recommend options for effective treatment & also methods to prevent or delay the return of dental disease.
A dental clean is very similar to a scale and polish for humans, but as animals won’t stay still for such a procedure, anaesthesia is required. We’ll assess your pet before doing this, identifying the degree of dental disease and deciding whether extractions, antibiotics or anti-inflammatories will be required.
The assessment may also include a physical exam, blood tests and urine tests to ensure your pet is healthy and able to withstand the anesthetic. Once sedated, we’ll then thoroughly clean the teeth using our specialist dental equipment and will discuss with you how best to care for your pet’s dental health afterwards.
