Dental Care That Goes Beyond a Clean Smile
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs and cats, and one of the easiest to miss. Over 80% of pets will experience some form of dental disease in their lifetime, and it often goes unnoticed until the damage is advanced.
Most pets won’t show signs until the pain is significant. That’s why we treat dental care as an essential part of overall health, not just a bonus. At Edgeworth Animal Medical Centre, we assess your pet’s teeth and gums at every check-up. If we see signs of plaque, inflammation, or discomfort, we recommend a professional cleaning to address issues early.
What to Expect From a Dental Procedure
Under general anaesthesia, we examine your pet’s entire mouth, take dental X-rays, clean under the gum line, and chart each tooth. We use modern monitoring to keep your pet safe and comfortable throughout. If any teeth are loose, infected, or causing pain, we’ll recommend treatment with clear explanations and thoughtful follow-up. Most pets benefit from an annual dental clean. With our state-of-the-art dental unit and intra-oral digital X-rays, we can assess your pet’s mouth thoroughly and tailor care to suit their breed, age, and health history.
Keeping Teeth Healthy Between Visits
What you do at home makes a big difference. Brushing is the gold standard, but not every pet accepts it, and that’s okay. We’ll help you choose a realistic home care routine using dental diets, gels, rinses, chews, or water additives. Our nurses are happy to demonstrate brushing techniques and offer tips that work. If you want to learn more, we recommend starting with our home care guide or this article from VIN.
Why Early Dental Care Makes a Difference
Most pets show signs of dental disease by age three, often without us realising. If left untreated, it can lead to gum infections, tooth loss, and even heart, liver, or kidney complications. Regular dental care helps prevent pain, supports better overall health, and gives your pet a better quality of life.
Even if your pet is older or showing symptoms, it’s not too late to help them feel more comfortable with a proper dental plan.
We’re With You Every Step
Dental care is part of how we help your pet live well, without pain, infection, or chronic discomfort. At Edgeworth, we’ll talk you through your options, provide honest recommendations, and make sure you feel supported. Whether it’s a straightforward scale and polish or part of an ongoing care plan, your pet will be treated with respect, skill, and a gentle approach that makes a real difference. If more advanced treatment is needed, we’ll help you navigate that too [link to advanced dental page].
We’re also pleased to offer species-specific dental equipment for rabbits and guinea pigs, ensuring these more complex cases receive the focused care they need. For more on dental care, contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my pet have their teeth cleaned?
Most pets benefit from a professional dental cleaning once a year. Some, especially small breeds or pets with existing dental concerns, may need them more often.
What are the signs of dental disease?
Bad breath, red gums, tartar build-up, drooling, pawing at the mouth, or changes in eating habits are all signs your pet may need a dental check.
Do I have to brush my pet’s teeth?
Brushing is ideal, but not essential. We’ll help you find the best option, whether brushing, chews, rinses, or dental food, to suit your pet and lifestyle.
What if my pet already has bad teeth?
It’s never too late to help. We’ll assess their condition, clean where possible, and treat any disease to restore comfort and protect their future health.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Dr Nicole and the rest of the team for fitting in our dog for a torn dew claw this morning on such short notice. Ashlee on the phone was so lovely and quick to make the appointment for me. Our girl was treated with such care and we are very grateful 💕

Best vets I’ve ever been to with rabbits! Vet was so kind, gentle & knowledgeable. She not only looked after the unwell bunny, but also took our other bunnies at home into consideration. All staff were so helpful. The follow up phone call & sympathy card were so appreciated & such a beautiful touch. Will never take our pets anywhere else after such an amazing experience! 🩷

I was referred to Edgeworth vets as they have experience with bunnies and took my rabbit Ross there, he was old and not able to be saved so I had make the hard decision to have him put to sleep. The staff there were so kind and the vet I saw Kimberly was amazing. She was very kind and supportive and so gentle with Ross. I was able to stay with him while he passed and she talked me through everything. I’m so grateful to them that they helped Ross pass in a peaceful manner and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Booked it our new kitten for his first vet visit after we purchased him. The staff was so helpful and nice, plus they help us out after he did not enjoy the car trip very much. But they made him feel welcome and helped me out. The vet we sure was so helpful and answered all our questions. They even gave us a little info pack about our kitten etc. They were recommended to us by a good friend and I would 100% recommend them to anyone that has a pet that needs a caring vet.

These guys truly care. I couldn’t get my rabbit into his usual vet, however, they took him. Unfortunately it was the end of the journey for Boris and they were helpful, compassionate and loving the whole way. I even got a sympathy card 2 weeks later. Thank you for your love and care.

Fantastic vets, we have been bringing our chickens here for 3 years now and have no complaints. Recently moved our cats to Edgeworth as well. All vets we have seen here have been great as well as the vet nurses. The receptionists are very helpful, its a releif to walk in the door and know that our pets are going to be well looked after.

Thank you for the beautiful card and condolences to our family after losing a battle with Jet. She tried so hard and fought like a little champion that she was. Thank you for your ongoing support, care, advice, and strength you showed to us, so that we could be strong. Unfortunately, little Jet succumbed to her many health issues but is now pain free. We will be under Edgeworth Animal Hospital for all of feathered family members. I couldn’t have asked for more

I had an emergency with my cat, and came without an appointment. I was seen straight away. Every single interaction I had with the lovely people at this vet was amazing. They are so kind and go 110% for your fur baby. They went above and beyond and made this cat dad feel like everything was going to be ok. I cannot thank them enough.
