Advanced Animal Dentistry

We are Australia's leading provider of Veterinary Dentistry, primarily in South East Queensland. Advanced Animal Dentistry loves teeth!

Advanced Animal Dentistry formed in 2006 when Dr Aaron Forsayeth joined Dr Gary Wilson with his already successful Veterinary Dental referral practice. With the creation of Advanced Animal Dentistry, the referral work expanded across south east Queensland, and has since allowed us to work in many other parts of Australia. As leaders in Veterinary Dentistry in Australia, Advanced Animal Dentistry provides a referral practice to Veterinarians for difficult dental cases; ongoing tertiary education for Veterinary Students in both Veterinary Science and Veterinary Tech courses provided by the University of Queensland; education services for Veterinarians and Nurses online and in-house; Lecturing and workshop opportunities at Veterinary Conferences throughout South East Asia. We've continued to expand in 2015 taking on board a resident, Dr Rebecca Tucker. Dr Tucker has quickly made a place for herself in the practice, and provides another great mind and set of hands to our business - allowing Advanced Animal Dentistry to provide more help to Australian pets. Dr Wilson retired in 2018, and left with AAD his legacy, and Australia in a stronger position with Veterinary Dentistry. Dr Tucker became full partner with Dr Forsayeth and together they have taken AAD forward.

🕵️‍♂️ Dental Detective: Answer Revealed!

The mystery tooth from Monday? 🐾 It’s fractured – but in an unusual way: the break is along the inside edge (palatal aspect) of the carnassial tooth 🦷💔

Take a closer look:
📸 Photo 1: The fractured tooth – palatal edge fracture, tricky to detect from a side-on view
📸 Photo 2: Most common carnassial “slab fracture” usually from chewing injuries
📸 Photo 3: Normal carnassial

Why has my dog’s tooth changed colour? 🐶🦷

A tooth that turns pink, purple, blue or grey isn’t just “stained” - the colour can actually be coming from inside the tooth. This is called intrinsic staining and is often caused by trauma to the tooth.

After an injury, bleeding inside the pulp can cause colour changes that become visible through the enamel. Unfortunately, many intrinsically stained teeth are non-vital (dead) or dying, even if your dog doesn’t seem painful.

If you notice a discoloured tooth, it’s worth having it checked by your veterinarian - dental radiographs are often needed to assess the health of the tooth. 🔎🩻

Overclosure in Cats: A Painful Problem Hiding at the Back of the Mouth 😿

😺 Does your cat seem uncomfortable when chewing or has unexplained mouth sores?

It might be due to overclosure (caudal malocclusion) - a bite abnormality where the upper (maxillary) fourth premolar traumatically contacts the lower (mandibular) molar or surrounding soft tissue leading to pain, ulcers and potentially periodontal disease if left untreated.

Certain breeds like Persians, British Shorthairs and Maine C***s are more commonly affected, but any cat can develop this condition.

Early detection and treatment - often with tooth reshaping (odontoplasty) or, in some cases, extraction - can significantly improve comfort and oral health.

These before and after images show the upper fourth premolar has had odontoplasty performed and the teeth are no longer sharp and penetrating the lower soft tissue.

👉 Learn more about causes, signs and treatment options here:
🔗 https://animaldental.com.au/caudal-malocclusion-in-cats/

If your cat has subtle changes in eating behaviour, bad breath, or sensitivity around the mouth, it’s worth having their bite assessed.

🦷 Radiograph Surprise: When Teeth Break the Rules! 🤯

Dental radiographs can sometimes reveal the most fascinating surprises.

Both of this patient's maxillary third premolars (PM3s) had three roots instead of the usual two!

This bilateral extra root was a remarkable incidental finding - and even better, they were completely healthy and required no treatment.

Just another reminder that anatomy doesn’t always follow the rulebook - and that the body can do some wonderfully unique things ✨

Check out the comparison radiographs of "normal" (two-rooted) third premolars in a different dog.

🐶🦷 Puppy teething: what’s normal and what’s not?

As puppies grow, their baby (deciduous) teeth should naturally resorb and fall out to make room for adult teeth. But sometimes… that doesn’t happen and puppy canine (fang) teeth are the ones most commonly affected by retention.

👉 Swipe to the second image
You’ll see two baby canine teeth side by side:
• One that resorbed normally and fell out on its own (this is what we want to see)
• One that was retained and extracted, with the root still intact (not normal)

📅 Timing matters
Adult canine teeth should be erupting at around 5 months of age.
A baby canine is considered retained when:
• The adult canine has erupted, and
• The baby canine is still present and solid (not loose)

Retained baby canines can cause or worsen malocclusions (abnormal tooth position), leading to crowding and long-term dental problems if not addressed early.

If your puppy is around 5–6 months old and still has double canines (like image 1), it’s time for a dental check 🐾

2017 saw expansion into two new established Veterinary Referral Hospitals - Veterinary Specialist Services at Jindalee, and Queensland Veterinary Specialists in North Lakes. Through the year recognistion finally came for Dr Gary Wilson’s amazing knowledge and experience in all Veterinary Dentistry, with him being recognised as a Registered Specialist. Dr Rebecca Tucker is coming close to the end of her formal residency, and Dr Aaron Forsayeth was finally granted permission to start a residency in Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery - the first person to ever do so. Advanced Animal Dentistry loves teeth!
