Over the last couple of days, the team at Colac Vet Clinic undertook an intensive in-house two-day training course with the amazing Maggie Burley from IM3, leaders in veterinary dentistry. 🦷🐾
Over the two days, we learnt all things dental — from understanding that by age 2, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats already show signs of dental disease, to recognising the huge impact oral health has on our pets’ overall wellbeing and quality of life.
We have enhanced our expertise in performing dental X-rays and techniques, refined our skills in professional scaling and polishing, and elevated our standards in proper dental instrument care and use, among many other advancements.
Most importantly, we learnt advanced techniques and skills focused on saving teeth wherever possible, helping pets keep healthy, functional teeth for longer and improving their long-term quality of life. 💕
So if you lift up your dog’s gums and notice tartar building up, now is the time to act! Early intervention can make a huge difference in saving your dog’s teeth in the future. Get in touch with our team — we’d love to help keep your pet’s smile healthy. 🐶🦷
