Benefits of Advanced Veterinary Dentistry

It’s estimated that 80% of cats and dogs over 3 years old have some form of dental issues. If left untreated, these problems can become severe, progressive, and painful. This can lead to difficulty eating, changes in behaviour, and chronic pain, all of which can negatively affect a pet’s quality of life. This is often without owners even realising the source of the problems.

Beyond the mouth, the effects of dental disease can extend systemically. There are very strong links between severe periodontal disease and renal dysfunction, diabetes and endocarditis.

Veterinary dentistry has taken huge leaps forward in the last 10 years, and now there are plenty of treatment options that aren’t simply extracting problem teeth. We can now provide root canal treatment to fractured teeth, to maintain some structure and function to the tooth. Orthodontics are another treatment option where we can move misaligned teeth into a better position. Periodontally diseased teeth can be treated to try and keep them functional for longer.

Whether it’s performing complex extractions, root canals, or orthodontic procedures, Frost Referrals is here to support your cats and dogs to live long, happy and pain free lives.
