At Animal Wellness Holistic Vet Clinic in Brisbane, our dental care goes beyond clean teeth. We focus on safe, gentle treatment that supports your pet’s whole-body health, protecting the heart, kidneys, and other vital organs while keeping them comfortable and stress-free.

Dental disease can do far more harm than bad breath. Bacteria from infected gums and teeth can travel through the bloodstream, causing serious illness in the heart, liver, and kidneys. Early, gentle intervention helps prevent pain, infection, and costly treatment later.

We tailor every dental procedure to your pet’s needs, using safe techniques and minimal stress handling. We avoid overusing sedation or harsh chemicals, focusing on the safest path to a healthy smile.

Each dental includes:

• Pre-anaesthesia bloodwork

• IV catheter + fluids

• Safe anaesthetic induction and monitoring

• Full mouth scaling and polishing

• Hospitalisation and pain management

We focus on safety, comfort, and complete care at every step.

• Bad breath or drooling

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

• Yellow or brown tartar build-up

• Difficulty chewing or dropping food

• Pawing at the mouth or face

We commonly see four stages:

1. Tartar – Hardened plaque near the gum line

2. Gingivitis – Inflamed gums, possible bleeding

3. Pyorrhea – Infection with pus between teeth and gums

4. Periodontitis – Bone loss around the teeth, risk to organs

The earlier we intervene, the easier (and more affordable) it is to manage.

• Holistic, integrative approach to oral health

• Experienced vet team led by Dr Elaine

• Gentle handling and personalised care

• Advanced equipment for safety and precision

• Proven results in improving whole-body health

A: A full dental at Animal Wellness includes pre-anaesthetic bloodwork, IV fluids, anaesthesia, monitoring, thorough scaling and polishing, and pain relief for a safe and comfortable recovery.

Q: Is dental disease dangerous for pets?
A: Yes. Untreated dental disease can lead to pain, tooth loss and organ damage. Early dental care helps protect your pet’s heart, kidneys, and overall health.

Q: How can I help maintain my pet’s teeth at home?
A: You can help with daily brushing, dental chews, and feeding dry food or vet-recommended dental diets. Your vet can recommend the best tools for your pet.
