DENTAL CARE

Dental disease in cats and dogs is unfortunately very common and can lead to more serious conditions such as heart and kidney disease. Here at Usk we have an ultrasonic descaler and polishing machine to remove tartar from your pet's teeth, and then polish them to smooth the tooth's surface. This prevents bacteria from immediately settling again, and gives your pet a nice, white smile!

For instances of root decay or gum disease, we have a high speed drill which we use for any necessary extractions. We also have a burr to file down rabbits' teeth when they grow out of position.

Frequent scale and polishes are less of a health risk than gum disease and multiple extractions. As always, complimentary nurse clinics are available if you have any concerns on these matters.
