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.

🐾 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.

🐾 Enamel Hypoplasia in Dogs – Protect Their Teeth 🦷

Enamel hypoplasia occurs when the protective enamel layer is underdeveloped or damaged. Causes include genetics, illness/infection during early tooth development, or trauma - for example, extractions of baby teeth can sometimes affect the adult teeth that are still unerupted and developing. It can affect dogs of any age and may involve a single tooth or multiple teeth.

✅ Signs to watch for:
• Rough or pitted enamel surfaces
• Areas of discoloration or thin enamel

💡 Why it matters:
Once enamel is lost, it won’t come back. If you notice changes to your dog’s teeth, have them checked by a veterinarian early - this helps protect teeth from sensitivity, wear, and infection.

🔍 The teeth pictured show enamel damage from deciduous canine extractions.

Extra Peace of Mind for Complex Patients 🐾

Some patients need more than just routine anaesthesia — and that’s where anaesthesia consultants come in.

Working alongside our dental team 🦷, they help manage patients with additional health concerns, providing an extra layer of safety and reassurance for both referring vets and pet owners.

Whether it’s a senior patient or a pet with specific medical conditions, the consultants ensure every patient receives tailored care throughout the procedure — from pre-operative assessment to recovery.

By combining specialist anaesthesia expertise with advanced dental care, we help ensure every patient is as safe and comfortable as possible. 🐾

Tooth Avulsion – A Traumatic Dental Injury

⚠️ Warning: Graphic Content ⚠️

The images in this post show severe dental trauma and may be distressing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.

A tooth avulsion occurs when a tooth is completely knocked out of its socket - a traumatic injury that damages the tooth, the blood vessels and nerves entering the root, and can injure the surrounding bone. In extreme cases, like the one shown here, extraction may be the only viable option for the traumatised teeth. 🦷

🚨 What to do:
Contact your veterinarian immediately. Prompt assessment and treatment are essential to give your pet the best outcome.

📞 Vet referrals: If a veterinarian needs to refer a patient with an avulsed tooth, they can call us on 1300TOOTHVET (1300 866 848).

🐾 Gingival Wedge Procedure (Gingivoplasty) for Dogs

Gingivoplasty is a dental procedure that reshapes the gums around misaligned mandibular canine teeth (lower canines) to help them grow in the correct position.

🐶 Who benefits?
This procedure is especially helpful for dogs with Class 1 malocclusion (base narrow canine/s), where the teeth are out of alignment but the jaws are correctly positioned.

🕒 Timing is key – it works best whilst the adult mandibular canines are still erupting, meaning the teeth are still moving and can be guided more easily into the correct position.

✨ Why it matters:
Gingivoplasty helps correct the malocclusion and prevents trauma if the teeth are impacting the gums or palate, reducing discomfort for your dog.

🦷💥 Dentigerous Cysts – Hidden but Harmful

A dentigerous cyst is a fluid-filled cavity that forms around an unerupted (impacted) tooth, gradually expanding and causing bone loss, damage to nearby teeth, or even jaw fractures — often without any obvious signs.

🐾 Who’s at risk:
Any breed can develop a dentigerous cyst, but smaller breeds (like Chihuahuas) and brachycephalic breeds (like Pugs, French Bulldogs & Boxers) are more commonly affected — especially if a tooth appears “missing.”

🩻 Early Detection is Key:
Dental X-rays during routine check-ups can catch cysts before serious damage occurs. Early treatment is less invasive and helps protect your pet’s oral health.

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.
