What signs may I notice at home that may indicate my rabbit has oral disease?

• Reduced appetite, or not eating at all
• Reduced number of faecal pellets produced
• Reduced ability or inability to ingest caecotrophs – leading to a ‘messy bum.’
• Runny eyes
• Hypersalivation and drooling
• Facial swelling due to secondary dental abscess.

If you detect any of the above signs, please contact Park Vet Group in Glenfield, Whetstone and on Saffron Lane and Scraptoft Lane to book an appointment for a vet to examine your rabbit as soon as possible.

The vet has detected oral disease in my rabbit; what does this mean?

If the front teeth (incisors) are too long, these can be shortened, this is usually performed on a conscious rabbit, but this depends on temperament.

If there is malalignment of the incisors (meaning that they don’t contact each other when closed), then shortening the teeth may provide a temporary fix, but the extraction of all incisors may be more appropriate to prevent the need for regular burring – this is something your vet would advise you on.

If your vet suspects there is spurring (sharp edges) of the back-cheek teeth (molars), a general anaesthetic will be required to facilitate a thorough examination and treatment.

What can I do to help prevent oral disease in my rabbit?

Feed a well-balanced diet high in fibre; a rabbit’s diet should be mainly made up of hay (80-85%). As a guide, this means that a rabbit should eat their body size in hay a day. This increases grinding, oral wear and promotes gut movement.

Pellet foods are advised over a mixed muesli as rabbits will pick their favourite parts of the food, often leaving the most nutritional parts. Feed a maximum of one tablespoon per day for dwarf and standard rabbits and two tablespoons for giant breeds.

Symptoms of oral disease in cats

Cats can be very good at hiding signs of pain and often, owners aren’t aware that their cat has oral disease; this is why our vets and nurses perform an oral check at each general consultation.

Some cats with severe oral health disease, root exposure, severe gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), or tooth root infections, will continue to eat, showing only subtle signs that there is a problem. Catching oral disease early can reduce the number of extractions required.

Plaque can be removed by tooth brushing; however, tarter will not be removed by brushing alone; if this is already present, we recommend a scale and polish to remove it, followed by tooth brushing to prevent the build up from occurring again.

A general anaesthesia is required for all oral procedures; however, a scale and polish procedure is much shorter with a faster recovery, compared to your cat having multiple extractions.

Signs of poor oral health in cats

• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Visible tartar build-up on teeth (brown colouration on surface of teeth)
• Red or inflamed gums (gingivitis)
• Discoloured teeth
• Loose teeth

Signs of severe oral disease in cats

• Drooling
• Bleeding from the mouth
• Slowness or reluctance to eat
• Chewing on one side of the mouth
• Dropping food from the mouth when eating
• Swelling around the mouth

If you detect any of the above signs, please contact Park Vet Group in Glenfield, Whetstone and on Saffron Lane and Scraptoft Lane to book an appointment for a vet to examine your cat as soon as possible.

How can oral disease in cats be prevented?

The best way to maintain healthy teeth is to brush your cat’s teeth daily. The Park Vet Group team would be happy to help with advice on introducing toothbrushing to your cat.

It can also be beneficial to have a scale and polish performed regularly to clean the teeth thoroughly. This is similar to the treatment we would receive from a dental hygienist. These are done under a short general anaesthetic as cats won’t sit in one position for a prolonged period and we must ensure their safety and the team’s safety when in the vicinity of sharp teeth!

Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs)

Cats also get another form of dental disease known as feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs). It has an unknown cause, but 75% of cats are thought to be affected. It is particularly common in cats over five years but can occur at any age.

In these lesions, part of the tooth is eaten away by the tooth itself, forming a small hole in the enamel close to the gum line. These lesions are very painful for cats and can lead to tooth fractures as they weaken the teeth. They require extraction to resolve.

Symptoms of dental disease in dogs

Dogs can be very good at hiding signs of oral pain and disease. Some dogs with severe oral disease, including root exposure, severe gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), and tooth root infections, will continue to eat, showing only subtle signs that something is wrong.

This can result in a dog having multiple teeth extracted at one time as opposed to one tooth extraction. Build-up of plaque and tarter will not be removed by teeth brushing alone if this is already present, we’d recommend a scale and polish to remove this, followed by tooth brushing to prevent the build-up occurring again.

A general anaesthesia is required for all oral procedures, however, having a routine scale and polish carried out to prevent dental disease from progressing is a hugely reduced anaesthetic time compared to multiple extractions being carried out.

Signs of poor oral health in dogs

• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Visible tartar build-up on teeth
• Red or inflamed gums (gingivitis)
• Discoloured teeth
• Loose teeth

Signs of severe dental disease in dogs

• Drooling
• Bleeding from the mouth
• Slowness or reluctance to eat
• Chewing on one side of the mouth
• Dropping food from the mouth when eating
• Swelling around the mouth (from potential tooth root abscesses)

If you detect any of the above signs, please contact Park Vet Group in Glenfield, Whetstone and on Saffron Lane and Scraptoft Lane to book an appointment for a vet to examine your dog as soon as possible.

How can oral disease in dogs be prevented?

The best way to maintain healthy teeth is to brush your dog’s teeth daily. This is easiest to start when your dog is younger but can be introduced at any age. The team at Park Vet Group would be happy to help with advice on introducing toothbrushing to your dog.

It can also be beneficial to have a scale and polish performed regularly to clean the teeth thoroughly. This is similar to the treatment we would receive from a dental hygienist. These are done under a short general anaesthetic as dogs won’t sit in one position for a prolonged period and we must ensure their safety and the team’s safety when in the vicinity of sharp teeth!

Why does oral disease occur in dogs?

Food and saliva that is left behind on the teeth will form plaque on the tooth. Plaque is soft and can be removed by brushing or using alternative dental products. If not removed, the plaque will harden forming tartar, which is difficult to remove without dentistry intervention.

If tartar is not removed (normally via the scale and polish procedure) then bacteria will spread below the gum line, causing sore, red gums. This is called gingivitis and periodontitis, which in turn can lead to loose teeth, infection of the tooth root and jawbone infections.
