Dental Procedures
Just like humans, pets can suffer from dental disease — and if left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, tooth loss, and serious problems with the heart, kidneys, and liver. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, we offer a full range of pet dental surgery and oral care, from scale and polish to complex extractions and jaw surgery.
Dental disease is extremely common in dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets, and it’s not always easy to spot. You might notice:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Discoloured or stained teeth
- Tartar build-up
- Broken or missing teeth
- Drooling or reluctance to eat dry food
- Pawing at the mouth or face
At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, we go beyond basic cleanings. We offer a full spectrum of veterinary dental care — from early prevention to complex oral surgeries.
