Dental Care for Pets

Dental Care for Pets

Keeping your pet’s teeth clean and healthy is about so much more than fresh breath.

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems we see in pets and left untreated, it can lead to serious pain, infection, and even impact vital organs like the heart and kidneys.

At Campbelltown Veterinary Hospital, we offer professional dental care to help prevent, detect, and treat dental disease, giving your pet every reason to smile.

Free Dental Checks for Dogs & Cats

We offer free dental checks as part of your pet’s routine visit. It’s a quick and easy way for us to assess your pet’s oral health and advise whether any further care is needed.

Early detection is key and sometimes all that’s required is a change in diet, at-home dental care, or preventative treatments to avoid future problems.

Why Dental Health Matters

Most pets will develop some form of dental disease during their lifetime. It often starts quietly with a build-up of plaque and tartar and can progress to sore gums, loose teeth, infections, and difficulty eating.

Common signs of dental disease in pets include:

  • Bad breath
  • Red or bleeding gums
  • Difficulty chewing or eating
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Loose or missing teeth
  • Drooling more than usual
  • Swelling around the face or jaw

Many pets, however, show no obvious signs of discomfort, which is why regular dental checks are so important.

Professional Dental Cleaning & Treatment

If your pet needs dental treatment, we have a fully equipped dental suite on-site. Dental procedures are performed under general anaesthetic for your pet’s safety and comfort.

Our dental services include:

  • Full mouth examination
  • Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar
  • Polishing for a smooth, clean finish
  • Extractions of damaged or infected teeth (where necessary)
  • Treatment of gum disease

Most pets go home the same day, feeling much more comfortable and with a cleaner, healthier mouth.

Ongoing Dental Care at Home

Keeping your pet’s teeth healthy is a team effort. Our vets and nurses will guide you on the best ways to care for your pet’s teeth at home, including:

  • Dental diets or dental chews
  • Tooth brushing techniques
  • Water additives or oral gels
  • Regular dental checks

Prevention is always better than cure and maintaining good dental habits at home can help reduce the need for future dental procedures.

When Was Your Pet’s Last Dental Check?

Dental disease is common but it’s also very treatable when caught early. If you’ve noticed changes in your pet’s breath, eating habits, or behaviour, it may be time for a dental check-up.
