Ulysses Veterinary Clinics Cairns Tooth Extraction Services

Teeth extractions are sometimes necessary to address severe dental issues. When teeth are damaged, decayed or infected beyond repair, removal becomes the best option to alleviate pain and prevent further complications, such as infections spreading to other parts of the body.

All teeth extraction procedures are performed under anesthesia, to ensure your pet is comfortable. Before the extraction takes place our Cairns vets will conduct a thorough examination, including dental X-rays to assess the affected tooth and surrounding structures. Once the diseased tooth is removed, the area is carefully cleaned to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. In some cases, stitches may be required to close the extraction site.

Post-surgery, your pet will receive pain relief and aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. While extractions might seem daunting, they can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life by eliminating discomfort and restoring their ability to eat, play and interact normally. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help prevent the need for extractions in the future. A tooth extraction may seem like a big step, but it’s often the key to a happier, healthier pet.
