Dr Bec Tucker

BVSc (Hons) MANZCVS (Small Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery)
Diplomate, American Veterinary Dental College™

I find special fulfilment in oral surgery, particularly reconstr uctive procedures that require ongoing care. It’s incredibly rewarding to see patients return to health with a better quality of life. One of the best parts of my job is developing bonds with pets.

Dr Aaron Forsayeth

BVSc (Hons) MACVSc (Veterinary Dentistry)

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the near-immediate positive results from fast, impactful treatments. It’s incredibly satisfying to have a patient come in unwell in the morning and send them home healthier by the afternoon. The highlight of my day is the happy reunions at discharge.

Brylliana

Client Care Specialist

My journey with animals began at 15 when I volunteered at a cat welfare shelter in Melbourne. In 2011, I completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and years later, I nursed for Advanced Animal Dentistry one day a week. It was then that my love for animal dentistry grew and I knew this was the career path for me.

Hayley

Client Care Specialist

From a young age, I was drawn to animals, and this passion grew stronger through school. After graduating, I earned a certificate in animal care and began volunteering with the RSPCA. As my career progressed, I discovered a love for not only caring for animals but also supporting their owners with compassion.

The care and compassion both Bec and Aaron show towards their patients and clients is above and beyond. I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with the whole AAD team including the wonderful admin team Bryl and Hayley. They make the whole experience from booking the appointment to discharge a pleasant experience and the follow up phone calls the day after procedure shows how much they really care about your pet and any concerns you may have. Would highly recommend these guys for any animal dental treatment.

So grateful to Dr Aaron for taking the absolute BEST care of our 13 year old boy Chopper! We honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else for his teeth. Dr Aaron is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, so kind and caring! I am quite the worrier as my boy is my baby and his little teeth are super worn from years of chewing/playing with tennis balls. Dr Aaron really gave us the time to listen to all of our concerns and go over everything so thoroughly. My partner and I came into the consult anxious and stressed and left feeling completely at ease knowing Chopper was in the absolute best hands! We are forever grateful for the high quality care and compassion Dr Aaron provided…..

Dr Aaron and Brylliana give our boy Chopper exceptional care every visit.

They both give us a lot of extra time and relive all our concerns over the phone and in person and never make us feel like we are a bother. They go out of their way to put us at ease with any questions we have and always make us feel like they have the time to reassure us in every way possible.

I would recommend them to anyone considering using them, 11 out of 10.

Thank you both of you for your amazing care!

Dr Aaron cared for our GSD who had fractured her teeth. The team were able to fit us in within a day for surgery and Dr Aaron’s calm bedside manner was (amazingly) able to calm our very anxious, highly strung dog who typically hates a vet surgery environment. Excellent follow up care and communication, it’s clear the team genuinely cares for animals. Surgery was very professionally done and the price was fair and reasonable for specialised expertise. We are very pleased, thank you for such compassionate care for our pup. If only Dr Aaron could be our regular vet!

Dr Bec is amazing! I really feel like my dog is safe with her and I am a very protective and nervous dog mum. My dog also had a really nice recovery and was very comfortable after his tooth removal (due to a nasty abscess). I would definitely recommend Dr Bec and the team to anyone who wants high end care for their pets.

FAQs

Is anaesthesia safe for my pet’s dental procedure?

Yes. Modern veterinary anaesthesia is extremely safe, and it’s a necessary part of proper pet dental care. We take all precautions, from pre-anaesthetic health checks to dedicated monitoring during the procedure, to minimise any risks. In fact, the benefits of treating dental issues, like relieving pain and infection, far outweigh the very low risk of anaesthesia. By using trained specialists and advanced equipment, we ensure your pet is kept comfortable and safe while asleep, even if they’re older or have other health concerns.

What happens during a pet dental procedure?

During a pet’s dental procedure, which is done under anaesthesia, the veterinary team will perform a thorough oral exam, clean and scale all the teeth, and polish them – just like your own dental clean, but with your pet comfortably asleep. We take dental X-rays to check for hidden problems below the gumline, since most dental disease is out of sight. The vet will remove any plaque and tartar buildup, clean under the gums to treat or prevent periodontal disease, and address any issues found. If a tooth is badly diseased or broken, they may extract it or even perform advanced treatments like a root canal to save the tooth. Throughout the process, your pet feels no pain or stress, and we make sure to keep you informed and your pet well-cared-for every step of the way.

How can I care for my pet’s teeth at home?

The best thing you can do is brush your pet’s teeth regularly. Daily brushing is ideal, but even a few times a week can make a big difference. Use a pet-safe toothpaste, never human toothpaste, and a soft toothbrush or finger brush, and introduce brushing gently so your pet gets used to it. Many pets will accept brushing with a bit of patience and positive reinforcement. In addition to brushing, you can use vet-recommended dental chews, toys, or special diets to help reduce plaque buildup. These are great additions, but they don’t replace regular brushing and annual dental check-ups.

How long does it take for my pet to recover after a dental procedure?

Pets generally recover quickly from dental treatments. In most cases, your cat or dog will go home the same day and be back to their normal selves by the next day. It’s not unusual if your pet is a little sleepy or quiet on the night of the procedure – this is just the after-effects of anaesthesia. Older pets might take an extra day or two to bounce back fully, but we provide pain relief and gentle care to keep them comfortable as they recover. By the next day, many pets are eating, playing, and acting like themselves again. We’ll give you simple home-care instructions and are always here to help if you have concerns.

What are the signs of dental problems in pets, and when should I seek help?

Watch for warning signs like bad breath, red or bleeding gums, tartar buildup, drooling, pawing at the mouth, or difficulty eating. Pets with dental pain might drop their food, chew on one side, or avoid hard kibble. You might also notice changes in behaviour like irritability or withdrawal. If you see any of these signs, or things like a broken tooth or swelling near the face or mouth, it’s time to visit your vet for a dental check-up. Early care can relieve discomfort and prevent things from getting worse. Your general vet can assess the issue and refer you to a specialist if advanced treatment is needed.
