A dental procedure is about much more than removing a tooth - it’s about protecting the surrounding tissue, preventing infection, and ensuring the mouth heals comfortably.

This beautifully sutured site is the result of careful, precise work during a tooth extraction. Every stitch is placed to support healing, reduce discomfort, and help your pet get back to eating, playing, and feeling their best as quickly as possible.

At Animal Dental Clinic, Dr Mike’s years of experience mean every dental patient receives meticulous care from start to finish. Because in dentistry, the little details make a big difference. 🐾

Your pet’s smile is more than just cute – it’s a window into their overall health. Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets, and if left untreated, it can cause pain, trouble eating, and even impact vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys.

That’s why professional dental care is so important. At Animal Dental Clinic, Dr Michael Lawley brings years of specialised experience in veterinary dentistry. Whether it’s a routine clean, tooth extraction, or complex oral surgery, Dr Mike is passionate about keeping your pet’s teeth and gums in top condition. 🦷🐾

Watch out for these signs your pet may need dental care:
• Persistent bad breath
• Dropping food or chewing on one side
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Loose or missing teeth

Early detection is key – a dental checkup can help prevent discomfort and avoid more serious health issues down the track.

📅 Book your pet’s dental appointment today at Animal Dental Clinic and keep their tail wagging (or purring) with a healthy, pain-free smile!

This patient was admitted for treatment of gingival enlargement, a condition we frequently see in certain breeds. However, during our pre-operative assessment, we noted an enlarging skin lesion on the lumbar region, prompting a broader diagnostic approach.

🩺 Key Clinical Findings:
• Generalised gingival overgrowth, particularly around the right maxillary canine
• Pedunculated oral and lip masses
• A crusted, plaque-like skin lesion over the lumbar dorsum

🛠️ Treatment Performed:
• Dental scale and polish
• Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty to recontour excessive gingival tissue
• Excisional biopsies of gingival and lip masses
• Fine needle aspirate of the skin lesion for cytology
• Extraction of a mobile mandibular incisor

Samples were submitted for histopathological and cytological analysis.
This case exemplifies the importance of comprehensive oral and dermatological evaluations in identifying coexisting conditions and enabling proactive decision-making.❤️‍🩹

Midweek throwback to last Friday at Animal Dermatology Clinic Murdoch, where we saw a classic double-trouble dental case 🦷🐶

This young pup came in with persistent deciduous canines x4 and linguoversion of the mandibular canines - a perfect storm of baby teeth overstaying their welcome and adult teeth heading in the wrong direction 😬

If left untreated, this kind of setup can cause discomfort, trauma to the palate, and long-term alignment issues. Fortunately, early intervention helps prevent chronic problems - and gives pups the best shot at a healthy, pain-free bite.

In this photo, you can see the dental probe inserted between the tooth and the gum. The probe is passing straight through due to significant bone loss, which has compromised the stability of the tooth. Normally, the probe would measure the depth of the periodontal pocket, but in this case, it’s able to pass through with ease because of the damage to the bone structure beneath the gumline.

This level of bone loss is a hallmark of advanced periodontal disease. It weakens the tooth’s support and increases the risk of infection and tooth loss. In cases like this, extractions are often necessary to prevent further complications and alleviate pain.

🦷 Why It’s So Important:
If your pet has noticeable gum issues or bad breath, it could be a sign of serious dental disease. Regular checkups and early intervention can help prevent this kind of bone loss and keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

Reminder: Don't ignore dental discomfort - schedule a checkup with Dr Mike to keep your pet’s teeth in tip-top shape!

Did you know some dental issues can go unnoticed until it's too late? This was the case for one of our recent patients. During a routine desexing procedure at their regular vet clinic, a young dog’s unerupted maxillary canines were discovered.

After a detailed examination and dental x-rays at Animal Dermatology Clinic, Dr Mike took action to prevent future complications. We found that both maxillary canines (104 & 204) were unerupted, with one tooth even rotated 180 degrees under the gum! He performed extractions of the unerupted canines, carefully removed dentigerous cysts, and made sure the area was thoroughly cleaned and healed. 🦷

📅 Reminder: Dental checkups every 6 months are essential for catching hidden dental issues early - trust us, it makes a world of difference!
