Benefits of Our Professional Cat Dental Service
Due to cats being prey species, they hide pain and disease really well. A significant portion of dental disease in cats is only identified within a thorough dental exam under general anaesthetic as part of our veterinary cat dental service. At Knutsford Vets, our cat dentists utilise years of experience, specialist equipment and modern treatment methods to ensure the best outcome for your cat.
Dental Procedures
Dental health issues are among the most common problems in cats. Our passion for dentistry stems from the significant improvements we can make to your pet’s health and comfort in a relatively short time. Ignored, dental disease only worsens, leading to increased pain and discomfort for your pet.
Periodontal disease isn’t just a dental problem; it’s linked to serious conditions like kidney, liver, lung, and heart disease, as well as diabetes and arthritis. Just as advances in human dentistry have extended our lives, the same principles apply to cats.
Our <modernModern Two Stage Approach
In our commitment to providing the best care, we’ve adopted a modern, two-stage approach to pet dentistry, mirroring best practices in human dentistry. Not every pet will require a second stage, but just like with humans, it’s better to have regular annual dental care than to wait for a problem to arise.
The main advantage of a two-stage approach is improved safety during anaesthesia. Shorter procedures are significantly safer than prolonged ones, as research shows that anaesthesia lasting over two hours carries higher risks and longer recovery times for pets.
Separating tooth extractions into a second stage reduces the bacterial challenge to your pet, lowering the risk of infection and decreasing the need for antibiotics. This staged approach also allows us to clearly explain the necessity of extractions, showing you x-rays from the first procedure and providing a precise cost estimate for the second stage, eliminating surprises.
Why are Dental X-Rays Essential?
A significant portion—60%—of dental disease occurs below the gum line, making dental x-rays an indispensable tool. They enable us to detect and treat painful issues such as fractures, abscesses, broken or missing roots, and tumors.
While dental x-rays have long been a staple in human dentistry, they are relatively new in veterinary medicine. Many practices may not include x-rays as part of a standard dental procedure, but at Knutsford Veterinary Surgery, we do this as part of our commitment to comprehensive care.
