Most of our patients are admitted into hospital for the day to have radiographs taken, unless it is an emergency and we'll take them immediately. We ask that you bring your pet in unfed on the morning of admission, as they will most likely be sedated or an aesthetised to allow us to take the best quality radiographs possible.
Long-term control and prevention of dental disease requires regular home care. The best way to begin this is to acclimatise your pet from a young age. Dental home care may include: Brushing teeth daily - just like us! This is the best form of dental hygiene. Pet toothbrushes and toothpaste are now available. Please do not use human toothpaste formulas as they are not designed to be swallowed and may be toxic to your pet. Feed pet's raw meaty bones or special dental diets.
When we have radiographs (X-rays) taken the radiographer asks us to keep perfectly still, often in unnatural positions. Most pets would never lie still enough, in the correct position, for us to take good quality radiographs required to diagnose their condition. Sedation and an aesthesia allow us to get the most useful radiographs possible.
