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 p

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.

If your pet enjoys certain products and they suit their health needs, they can be a great addition. Here’s what to keep in mind when using various options.

Did you know many pets suffer from dental disease without showing signs until it’s severe?

Regular dental cleanings are more than breath fresheners—they allow vets to spot hidden issues and keep your furry friend healthy and pain-free. Learn about the process, how often it's needed and the safety of general anaesthesia.

❗❗ Traumatic Malocclusion ❗❗

➡ Swipe to see the treatment!

🦷 Reason for Treatment:

- The patient presented with Class 2 Malocclusion (overbite) and Class 1 Malocclusion (linguoverted mandibular canines).

- The Lower Left Canine was damaging the Upper Left Canine, and the Lower Right Canine was striking the palate (impact points circled in photo one).

- Without intervention, the mandibular canines would eventually pe*****te the palate, risking a connection to the nasal cavity and causing chronic infections.

🦷 Treatment:

- The solution was a Height Reduction and Vital Pulpotomy of the mandibular canines to eliminate harmful contact points and prevent long-term damage.

With summer in full swing, the heat can take a toll on your pet’s oral health. Dehydration caused by the hot weather can lower saliva production, which in turn raises the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease. Dry mouth is a common issue that can lead to discomfort and dental problems.

If you’ve noticed signs of discomfort or unusual breath, it might be time for a dental check-up.

This January, help your furry companion stay hydrated to maintain a healthy, happy smile.

Ensuring your dog’s mouth is comfortable is crucial for their overall happiness. If your pup has linguoverted teeth, ball therapy is a fun, non-invasive intermittent intervention that may help them. There are no risks, even if it’s not successful.

Essentially, it involves applying the right amount of force at the right developmental stage to guide teeth into a better position, preventing potential discomfort and trauma down the line.

We’re asked about ball therapy all the time, so here’s our guide to understanding what it is, what linguoverted mandibular canines are, how to choose the right ball, and our expert implementation tips.

⚠⚠ Mandibular Jaw Fracture Repair ⚠⚠

🦷 What Happened?
- A mandibular fracture caused by trauma required immediate attention.

🦷 Treatment Plan:
- The fractured bones were repositioned
- Soft tissues closure
- Wire-reinforced acrylic splint (appliance) was placed around the mandibular teeth to stabilize the fracture during healing.

🦷 Follow-Up:
Six weeks later, the splint was successfully removed, and the fracture was healing so well that we were able to extract the damaged teeth during this procedure.
This level of stability was exceptional, as in most cases, we wait several months post-repair before addressing damaged teeth.
We’re thrilled with this pup’s progress and full recovery!

🐾 Every patient and case is unique, and we’re here to provide expert care when it’s needed most.

We know that brushing your cat’s teeth might seem intimidating, but it’s worth it to spare your furry friend from discomfort and expensive treatments down the line.

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!
