What To Do For An Emergency

If your pet has an emergency the best contact is to TEXT/SMS Dr Christine directly on 0408 782 611. Be sure to start the message with ‘EMERGENCY’ and leave the best contact number. Dr Christine will call you as soon as possible. Please be respectful of this excellent service and only text if you truly feel it is an emergency. Alternatively, ring the Veterinary Specialist and Emergency Centre, Crows Nest on (02) 9436 4884.

Trauma patients – such as road accidents – may also have dental problems, but the importance in this situation is on stabilisation and critical care for your pet, not so much the tooth. Transfer to your local vet or emergency centre is the priority.

Many dental problems can be treated professionally and safely by your own vet, usually at a lower cost and the convenience that all your pet’s treatment stays ‘in-house’. Complicated problems can be referred to Christine via your local vet. She prefers to work through referral as this provides much better continuity of care for your pet, especially those with previous dental issues or other health problems. She can discuss your pet’s health issues with your own vet, and access their medical records, blood tests etc. This also minimises the risk of a non-dental problem being discovered by Dr Christine at your dental visit, which would then need to be dealt with by your vet prior to dental surgery (resulting in extra trips between practices, and extra stress). However, Dr Christine is happy for you to contact her directly for advice if you prefer. Click Here

Dr Hawke listens to her voicemail twice a day. Leave a message on 1300 838 336 and she will return your call. Alternatively (to avoid playing phone tag) you can book a phone call at a time that is best for you and she will call you to discuss your pet’s problems (see the section and tool below).

The most convenient way to speak to Dr Hawke is by having her return your phone call at a predetermined time set by you. The benefit of this is that you will be free and she will have the time to properly discuss your pet’s problems. It’s a great way to avoid phone tag and to give you both the time to discuss your concerns. Book through the button below.

Christine’s email address is christine[at]sydneypetdentistry.com.au. She gets a LOT of emails and will do her very best to reply within 24-48 hours. The quickest way to get a response is through the form at the top of this page. Please include as much information as you can.

Dr Christine receives many enquiries relating to the pricing of procedures. This is completely understandable! While she can sometimes give a rough guide for fairly ‘standard’ procedures such as root canal treatment, the costs can vary depending on the individual problem, the size of your pet, and other medical issues affecting the anaesthetic. All procedures include the benefits of Dr Christine’s skill and experience, and the facilities of a 24 hour referral hospital.

Please remember that until she has examined your pet she cannot give more than a rough idea of a diagnosis or estimate of costs. A human dentist would not even consider diagnosing and estimating treatment costs without examining you. It is exactly the same for Dr Christine. Booking in a consultation is by far the quickest and safest way to ensure a correct diagnosis and treatment for your pet.
