Rabbit dental care is essential because rabbits’ teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. Without proper wear from a fibre-rich diet and regular veterinary checks, teeth can become overgrown, leading to pain, difficulty eating, and more serious health complications. Early signs like drooling, weight loss, or reduced appetite are often linked to underlying dental issues.
At The City Vet Clinic, we provide expert rabbit dental care with a focus on safe, precise tooth trimming and effective treatment of dental disease. Our experienced veterinary team uses gentle handling techniques and advanced equipment to ensure your rabbit’s comfort at every stage of treatment.
Whether your pet needs routine dental maintenance or more complex care, we tailor each treatment plan to their individual needs—helping prevent future problems and keeping your rabbit happy, pain-free, and thriving.


The City Vet Clinic’s rabbit dental treatment focuses on safe, accurate tooth trimming carried out by experienced veterinary professionals. Rabbits can develop overgrown incisors quickly, making timely treatment essential to prevent discomfort and more serious oral health issues.
Our approach begins with a thorough oral examination to assess tooth length, alignment, and any signs of disease. We then perform careful trimming using specialised tools, ensuring precision and minimal stress. When required, appropriate sedation is used to keep your rabbit calm and comfortable throughout the procedure. Our team also prioritises gentle handling techniques to minimise stress.
Tooth trimming should never be attempted at home, as improper methods can lead to fractures, bleeding, or infection. Our professional rabbit dental treatment ensures your pet receives safe, effective care with the best possible outcome.

At The City Vet Clinic, our approach to rabbit dental care focuses on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment. Because rabbits’ teeth grow continuously, even minor dental problems can quickly become serious. Our veterinary team is equipped to manage a wide range of conditions, helping your rabbit stay comfortable, healthy, and pain-free.
01
Overgrown incisors are one of the most common problems we see in rabbit dental care. When the front teeth grow too long or become misaligned, rabbits may struggle to eat or groom properly. At The City Vet Clinic, we perform precise trimming to restore normal tooth length and function, helping your rabbit eat comfortably and maintain daily routines.
Molar Spurs: Molar spurs occur when the back teeth wear unevenly, creating sharp edges that can injure the tongue or cheeks. This can lead to pain, drooling, and reduced appetite. Our rabbit dental care services include safely smoothing these sharp points, relieving discomfort and preventing further oral injury, so your rabbit can return to normal eating habits.
02
Malocclusion is a condition where the teeth do not align correctly, preventing natural wear. This leads to repeated overgrowth and ongoing dental issues. At The City Vet Clinic, our rabbit dental care includes regular monitoring and tailored treatment plans to manage this condition effectively, ensuring long-term oral health and comfort for your pet.
03
Tooth root disease is a serious condition that can quietly affect a rabbit’s health over time. As part of rabbit dental care, early recognition and timely treatment are essential to prevent pain, infection, and long-term complications.
04
Tooth root disease affects the roots beneath the gums, often leading to swelling, discharge, and persistent discomfort. It can develop gradually and may not be immediately visible, which is why regular dental check-ups are important.
The City Vet Clinic uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to detect the dental conditions at an early stage. Treatment may include medication, corrective procedures, or ongoing care to support long-term comfort.
05
Dental abscesses and infections can develop from untreated dental issues and may cause swelling, pain, and difficulty eating. The City Vet Clinic’s rabbit dental care includes timely diagnosis and targeted treatment to control infection, relieve discomfort, and prevent further complications, ensuring your rabbit receives the highest standard of care.

Rabbits should have dental check-ups at least once or twice a year. However, rabbits with known dental issues may require more frequent visits as part of ongoing rabbit dental care.
Common signs include drooling, difficulty eating, weight loss, overgrown teeth, and reduced grooming. If you notice any of these, seek rabbit dental care promptly.
Professional tooth trimming is not painful when performed correctly. At The City Vet Clinic, we use gentle techniques and sedation when needed to ensure your rabbit’s comfort.
No, tooth trimming should not be done at home. Incorrect techniques can cause fractures, bleeding, or infection. Always rely on professional rabbit dental care for safe treatment.
A high-fibre diet, especially hay, helps naturally wear down teeth. Regular veterinary check-ups and early intervention are key parts of effective rabbit dental care.
