Dental health is an essential part of your pet’s overall wellbeing. At Vets of Geelong, we provide gentle, comprehensive dental care for dogs, cats and rabbits to prevent disease, relieve discomfort and support long-term health.
Bad breath is often one of the first signs of dental disease—a condition affecting more than 70% of adult dogs and cats. Dental disease begins with a soft layer of plaque that hardens over time into calculus (tartar), causing gum inflammation, infection and pain. If left untreated, bacteria can spread through the bloodstream and impact the heart, liver and kidneys.
Rabbits are also prone to dental issues, particularly due to the continuous growth of their teeth. Misalignment, overgrown molars and sharp enamel points can cause severe pain, infections and difficulty eating. Early detection and routine dental checks are essential for keeping rabbits comfortable and healthy.
Scale and polish to remove plaque and stains
Tooth extraction may sometimes be necessary
Treatments to prevent plaque reforming
All treatments carried out under general anaesthetic
Dental treatment typically involves a thorough scale and polish, as well as assessment of the gums, teeth and oral structures. Pets require general anaesthesia to allow a complete and stress-free examination, safe cleaning and any necessary extractions.
During your pet’s dental procedure, our team will:
• Remove plaque and calculus
• Assess gum and tooth health
• Identify infection, disease or oral pain
• Extract damaged or painful teeth when required
• Provide a personalised plan for at-home dental care
Rabbits receive specialised dental care using gentle techniques designed for their unique anatomy and continuously growing teeth.
Every patient receives one-on-one nursing care, tailored anaesthetic protocols, comprehensive monitoring and personalised pain management.
Our pets are part of our family, and we want to give them the best care we can, especially when they live so closely with us, and bad breath is not a pleasant thing for anyone to have to endure – human or animal! Bad breath is also one of the first signs that there is a problem in the mouth, and that is where you need a pet dentist.
As we know from our own teeth, plaque can build up and cause bad breath, gum inflammation, infection and tooth decay, which can be very painful and make us feel unwell. We try to prevent it by cleaning our teeth twice daily and regularly visiting the dentist. We understand the importance of dental hygiene, and that’s why at Vets Of Geelong we offer a full dog dental service so your furry friend doesn’t have to suffer with troublesome teeth either.
When you think about how much care we give our own teeth, and how little care our pet’s teeth get, it is no wonder problems happen, and you need a dog dentist to help out. We offer top-quality professional pet dental care with the same gold standards as all the services we offer here.
If you need to come for dog teeth cleaning in Geelong, then your pooch will be in the best hands. Unlike us they will not sit still with their mouths open while we descale and polish their teeth, so we need to administer a general anaesthetic, of which we use only the highest standards of anaesthesia. If there are any extractions needed, we can do this safely while your dog is asleep, and although their mouths may be a little tender for a day or two after, the benefits of a good dog dental service reach far beyond simply having more pleasant breath. Infections in the mouth can spread to other organs like the heart, kidneys and liver and cause disease.
Our dog dentist in Geelong will advise you on ways you can improve the oral health of your dogs and cats. Our experienced team of Geelong vets can show you how to brush their teeth with special pet toothpaste and recommend dental diets and treats to help keep plaque at bay.
