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.

🐾 Visiting Advanced Animal Dentistry 🐾

We do our best to make dental procedures as smooth and comfortable as possible for you and your pet. Here’s what to expect:

• Thorough exam and discussion of findings, with treatment recommendations 🩺
• In most cases, we can proceed with treatment on the same day as the initial consult 🦷
• Usually a day procedure, with our team keeping you updated throughout the day 💙
• If oral surgery or extractions are required, pain relief is provided during the procedure and sent home with your pet 💊
• Discharge instructions include aftercare and diet recommendations - often dry food or chunks of meat/dog roll. We avoid soft, sticky food as it can get stuck in sutures and promote wound breakdown 🍖

Your pet’s smile is our priority! 😁

⚽ Check Out Our Ball Therapy Video! 🐶

Want to help your puppy’s lower canine teeth grow in correctly and safely? Our explanatory video shows you exactly how Ball Therapy works and how to do it at home!
Watch it here 👉 https://animaldental.com.au/pet-ball-therapy/

What Is Ball Therapy? 🐕✨
Ball Therapy is a safe, non-invasive technique designed only for puppies with linguoverted mandibular canines. It is effective only during the eruption of adult mandibular canines, guiding inward-angled teeth into a better, non-traumatic position.

How It Works & Benefits ✅
• Your puppy holds a firm rubber ball between their lower canine teeth. ⚽
• Gentle pressure during play encourages proper alignment.
• If successful, may reduce the need for further orthodontic treatment or extractions of the canines in the future. 🦷

Tips 💡
Use a dense rubber ball about 50% wider than the space between the lower canines and encourage play for 15 minutes, three times a day.

Our Story

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 continued to expand and in 2015 we took 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.

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!
