Pet Dentistry
Dental care is an important part of your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. At Charlestown Vet Clinic, we provide gentle, thorough dental care to help keep your pet comfortable, healthy, and pain-free throughout their life.
During a dental assessment, we examine your pet’s teeth, gums, and mouth to check for signs of dental disease. If treatment is required, we create a tailored dental care plan suited to your pet’s age, health, and individual needs. Professional dental procedures are performed under general anaesthetic to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety, with careful monitoring throughout.
Our clinic uses modern dental equipment to clean and treat teeth effectively. This includes scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing to help slow future build-up, and extractions when necessary to relieve pain and prevent infection. Pain relief and supportive care are always provided to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Dental care doesn’t stop at the clinic. Our team also offers guidance on ongoing dental care at home, including advice on diet, dental products, and routines that can help maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits.
Good dental health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall wellbeing, supporting not only their mouth but also their heart, kidneys, and general comfort. With regular checks and early intervention, many dental issues can be managed or prevented altogether.
We’re here to help you keep your pet smiling, comfortable, and enjoying life.
