Dentistry with Doc Geoff

In this Geoffisode, Dr Geoff treats Murphy, a seven-year-old Cocker Spaniel with significant dental disease. Gum recession, calculus, and gingivitis are all visible issues that can’t be ignored, as oral bacteria can travel through the bloodstream and affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.

August is promoted as Dental Month in Australia, but at Vet HQ Darlinghurst and Double Bay, every day is dental day. Professional cleaning, polishing, and dental x-rays reveal hidden disease, while home care options like brushing and vet-approved chews support ongoing prevention.

Protect your pet’s health with expert dental care. Book a dental check at Vet HQ Darlinghurst or Double Bay today.

“Dental disease isn’t just bad breath. It can damage the heart, kidneys, and liver.” — Dr Geoff, Vet HQ Double Bay
