Pet Dental Care
Dental disease is the most common health problem in pets. We're here to keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy in Wheelers Hill and Mulgrave.
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental disease doesn't just cause bad breath — it causes real pain. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and damage the heart, kidneys, and liver. Many pets suffer in silence because they can't tell us their mouth hurts.
At Mulgrave Veterinary Clinic, we check your pet's teeth at every health examination and recommend professional dental cleans when needed. A professional clean under anaesthesia allows us to thoroughly scale and polish every tooth, including below the gum line where disease starts.
We also provide home dental care advice — including tooth brushing techniques, dental chews, and water additives — to help you maintain your pet's oral health between visits.
