Cat Dentistry in Essex
Dental disease is extremely common in cats, yet many signs are subtle and easy to miss. At Ivy Lodge Veterinary Clinic in Brentwood, Essex, we provide professional cat dentistry including dental checks, scale and polish treatments, and tooth extractions where needed.
If your cat has bad breath, is eating more slowly, dropping food, or avoiding hard biscuits, it may be a sign of dental discomfort. Early treatment can prevent pain and more serious health problems.
Why Cat Dental Care Is So Important
Cats are very good at hiding pain. By the time dental disease is obvious, it may already be advanced. Plaque and tartar build-up can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis), infection and tooth loss if left untreated.
Common signs of dental disease in cats include:
- Bad breath
- Red or bleeding gums
- Dropping food while eating
- Reduced appetite
- Excessive drooling
- Pawing at the mouth
- Weight loss
If you notice any of these symptoms, a dental check is recommended.

What Happens During Cat Dental Treatment?
Cat dental procedures are performed under general anaesthetic to ensure a safe and thorough examination. This allows us to properly assess each tooth and treat any disease below the gum line.
A typical cat dental procedure may include:
- Full oral examination
- Scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar
- Dental X-rays if required
- Extraction of damaged or infected teeth
- Pain relief and aftercare support
Cat Tooth Extractions
Some cats suffer from conditions such as tooth resorption, which can cause significant pain. In these cases, tooth extraction is often the most effective way to relieve discomfort and restore quality of life.
Our team uses modern anaesthetic monitoring and pain management protocols to keep your cat comfortable throughout the procedure and recovery.
