Hi there! It's great that you're thinking about your pet's dental health. Dental X-rays are often a routine part of a thorough dental cleaning for pets. They provide a full picture of what's happening below the gum line, where potential issues can't be seen just by looking in the mouth.
There could be underlying problems like tooth root abscesses, bone loss, or hidden fractures that might not be evident without an X-ray. Catching these conditions early can make a big difference in treatment and overall health.
At home, you can help maintain your pet's dental health by brushing their teeth regularly or offering dental-friendly toys and treats that promote good oral hygiene. Keep an eye out for signs that might indicate more serious dental issues, such as bad breath, difficulty eating, swollen or bleeding gums, and pawing at their mouth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to get professional advice promptly.
If you're unsure whether your pet needs X-rays as part of their dental cleaning, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can discuss your pet's individual needs and help guide you to the best decision.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
