Cute little Ralph came in to see us with a very swollen cheek! 🐿️ Swelling like this on one side of the face under the eye area, is commonly linked with a tooth root abscess. Further investigation was needed to confirm this though.
From the outside, Ralph’s teeth looked healthy, but once we did some dental x-rays the culprit was very obvious. He had a fractured carnassial tooth and also some pocketing around the root, which indicates the abscess (swipe left to see Ralph’s x-ray) 🩻
This tooth was extracted by Dr Yolande along with a full scale and polish and some pain relief 🦷✨
Ralph’s facial swelling resolved and he went back to living his best life! 🐶🐾
