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.

🦷 Juvenile Gingivitis & Periodontitis in Cats

Red, inflamed gums in young cats aren’t normal. Juvenile gingivitis and periodontitis are painful inflammatory conditions seen only in cats that develop after eruption of the adult teeth.

⚠️ Why it matters:
• Can progress rapidly
• Causes loss of bone and tooth support
• Can lead to lifelong dental disease if untreated

🔍 Signs to watch for:
• Bright red or bleeding gums
• Heavy plaque build-up
• Bad breath or reduced appetite

⏱️ Early intervention is key
Prompt dental assessment and aggressive plaque control can significantly improve long-term outcomes.

🐾 When Something Doesn’t Seem Right, Get Your Pet’s Mouth Checked! 🦷

This pup has a severe overbite (Class 2 malocclusion). If left untreated, the lower canines (mandibular) could have eventually pierced the palate - leading to chronic pain, infections, and ongoing health issues.

➡️ Swipe through the pics 📸 to see the indentations the lower canines had already caused and where the teeth should have been 🦷✨.

Early detection and treatment of malocclusions can save your pet from serious complications. Don’t wait until it’s too late ⏰a dental check could make all the difference.

What Happens When Your Pet Is Referred for Dental Care 🦷🐾

When your pet is referred to Advanced Animal Dentistry, the process starts with your primary care veterinarian 🩺, who identifies a dental concern requiring specialist assessment.

Your pet then has a dental procedure under general anaesthetic, allowing us to fully examine the mouth, check below the gumline, and take dental X-rays 🦷📸 to find hidden disease.

If your pet is healthy and it’s appropriate, treatment can often be done during the same anaesthetic, avoiding extra procedures.

The goal isn’t just clean teeth - it’s finding and treating painful disease, keeping your pet comfortable, and supporting long-term oral health 🐶🐱💛.

Understanding Tooth Wear & Abrasion 🦷🐾

A lot of tooth damage doesn’t come from accidents - it comes from everyday chewing habits.

🦴 Frequent chewing on hard or abrasive toys can slowly wear teeth down over time.
🎾 Tennis balls are a common cause. Their fuzzy surface traps grit, dirt, and sand, which then acts like sandpaper on the teeth during chewing.

This can lead to:
• Flattened or worn teeth
• Chips or fractures
• Tooth sensitivity or pain

💡 A simple swap helps: choose a smooth, firm rubber ball or toy instead - they’re far gentler on teeth and still great for play.

If your pet’s teeth look flatter than normal or more worn than expected, it’s worth having them checked early to prevent discomfort and long-term damage.

Tooth Resorption in Cats 🐱🦷

Did you know some cats hide painful dental disease?

Tooth resorption can slowly destroy teeth from the inside out. Dental radiographs are required for proper diagnosis, as not all lesions are visible on the surface.

Early detection is key - sometimes subtle changes in eating or grooming habits are the only signs.

🦷 Unusual Dental Case Alert! 🐾

This patient had extra upper chewing teeth (carnassials) on both sides that were poorly erupted or rotated. The normal upper carnassials were then crowded and rotated (especially prominent on the right side), with the back part of each tooth angled toward the outside of the mouth.

The extra teeth were removed to prevent future problems and help maintain a healthy mouth.

🐾 Your Pet’s Smile Starts Here 💙

Adopting a puppy or kitten? That means it’s time to think about more than toys and treats - their dental health matters. At Advanced Animal Dentistry we know dental disease can sneak in quietly, even when your little companion seems fine.

Here’s how you can get started:
🦷 Start early: Puppies and kittens go through big changes in their mouths as baby teeth are replaced by adult teeth - early care lays the foundation.
🦷Create a brushing routine: Once your pet is relaxed, use a soft-bristle brush and pet-safe toothpaste. Even a few times a week helps - daily is ideal.
🦷Stay alert for warning signs: Bad breath, red gums, drooling or reluctance to chew toys? These could be red flags.

🦷 Is your dog’s gum looking overgrown or swollen?

This could be gingival enlargement - thickened gum tissue that can trap food, cause bad breath, and lead to dental problems. It may affect just one area or be more widespread throughout the mouth. Certain breeds, medications, or chronic inflammation can cause it.

Watch for:
• Overgrown or swollen gums
• Bleeding while chewing or brushing
• Persistent bad breath

✅ Treatment usually involves a dental exam and trimming of the gums (gingivectomy), followed by dental cleaning. We recommend daily brushing once the gums have healed to help reduce the risk of recurrence.

💬 Notice anything unusual with your dog’s gums? Speak with your vet.

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!
