Dentistry
Because so may oral procedures result in the production of an aerosol of bacteria, dentistry and oral surgery is confined to a separate small operating theatre. Here we are able to perform most of the procedures required for the maintenance of a healthy mouth in your pet.
As well as dogs and cats, we also operate on l arge numbers of rabbits and rodents such as chinchillas and guinea pigs. Nearly all of our procedures are carried out under general anaesthesia, and as many of our patients are elderly, modern of anaesthetic equipment, drugs and electronic monitoring are essential.
Over 60% of cats over 2 years old are suffering form dental pain so dentistry is seen in this practice as a very important welfare issue, enabling our patients to lead happy, pain free lives.
