Dental Care for Your Pet

Dental disease is very common in both dogs and cats and can cause significant pain and discomfort if left untreated. At Animal Trust, most of our surgeries have dedicated dental facilities, where our veterinary teams can assess and treat dental disease with your pet’s comfort and welfare at the heart of their care. 

What Is Pet Dental Treatment? 

Dental treatment is carried out under general anaesthesia so that your pet’s teeth, gums and mouth can be thoroughly examined and treated safely. The procedure includes dental charting, where each tooth and the surrounding gums are assessed individually, and dental X-rays to identify problems below the gum line. Teeth affected by dental disease will be extracted where necessary, while the remaining teeth are cleaned with a scale and polish. Your pet will receive pain relief during the procedure, including local nerve blocks where appropriate.

Pet Dental Procedures - Frequently Asked Questions

Dental disease can be difficult to spot, particularly in its early stages. Regularly checking your pet’s mouth can help you identify changes that may need veterinary attention. 

Look out for signs such as: 

  • Red or swollen gums 

  • Visible tartar 

  • Pawing at the mouth 

  • Dropping food or difficulty eating 

  • Changes in eating habits 

  • Changes in behaviour 

If you notice any of these signs, your pet may be experiencing dental pain. A veterinary assessment can help identify the cause and whether dental treatment is needed. 

The price is fixed at £430, regardless of how many X-rays or extractions your pet needs during the procedure.   

Your pet will usually be able to go home once they have recovered sufficiently from their anaesthetic. 

You will be given advice on caring for your pet at home following their dental procedure, including any changes to feeding that may be recommended. 

Pain relief to take home is included in the fixed-price dental procedure. 

In some cases, particularly where dental disease is severe or several teeth require complex extractions, treatment may take longer than 90 minutes and need to be staged over two procedures. Your vet will explain why this may be the safest approach for your pet. If a second procedure is needed, each procedure is charged at our standard dental price of £430.
