Short answer? Absolutely. And it’s more common than you think.
Dog dental care in Summer Hill is something we talk about a lot at our clinic – and for good reason. Most dogs with dental disease keep eating like nothing’s wrong. They still wag their tails, chew bones, and seem perfectly happy. But beneath the surface, something very different might be going on.
Dental disease hides in plain sight
By age 3, over 80% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease. In its early stages, there’s no drooling, no whimpering, no appetite change. What you might notice instead is:
• that “doggy breath” getting worse
• a yellow-brown build-up on the teeth
• a bit of redness along the gumline.
That’s where it starts – and if left untreated, it gets a lot worse. That’s why dog dental care in Summer Hill is more important than ever.
Why early detection matters
When we perform dental X-rays under general anaesthetic, we often discover:
• painful infections below the gumline
• loose or fractured teeth
• bone loss around the roots
• severe inflammation even when the teeth look fine from above.
And your dog? Still eating. Still smiling. Still hiding it.
