🦷 Slab Fractures of the Carnassial Teeth: More Than Just a Broken Tooth

Did you know that one of the most common dental injuries we see in dogs is a slab fracture of the upper fourth premolar (carnassial tooth)?

A slab fracture occurs when a large section of the tooth breaks away, often exposing the sensitive pulp inside. This can cause:
🐾 Pain and discomfort
🐾 Difficulty chewing
🐾 Infection of the tooth root
🐾 Abscess formation beneath the eye
🐾 Chronic oral inflammation

Common causes include:
🦴 Chewing on antlers, bones, hooves, rocks, or other hard objects
🎾 Repeated chewing on hard toys

Signs your dog may have a fractured tooth:
❗ Chewing on one side of the mouth
❗ Dropping food while eating
❗ Reluctance to chew hard treats
❗ Pawing at the mouth
❗ Bad breath
❗ Facial swelling (in advanced cases)

Treatment options depend on the severity of the fracture and may include:
✔️ Dental radiographs to assess the tooth root
✔️ Root canal therapy & dental sealant (a referral surgery)
✔️ Surgical extraction

Remember: Dogs are very good at hiding dental pain. A fractured tooth may look minor but can be causing significant discomfort.

If you notice a broken tooth or have concerns about your pet’s oral health, give us a call to schedule an examination. Early treatment can help prevent infection and keep your pet comfortable.

✨ BEFORE & 2 WEEKS POST-OP ✨

This patient underwent corrective surgery for stenotic nares — a condition where the nostrils are too narrow, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. This is especially common in brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds.

By widening the nostrils, airflow is improved, helping patients breathe easier, exercise more comfortably, and reduce the effort required just to get enough air. 🐾💙

The difference in this sweet patient’s nostrils only 2 weeks after surgery is already amazing! His parents say that he is SO EXCITED to sniff everything now!

If your pet snores heavily, struggles with exercise, breathes loudly, or seems to work hard to breathe, a consultation may help determine if they could benefit from airway surgery.

Dog malocclusion is one of the most frequently encountered dental conditions in small animal practice, affecting over a quarter of canine patients. While sometimes perceived as merely cosmetic, these malocclusions can cause chronic pain and tissue trauma that require veterinary intervention. With pain responses similar to humans, dogs with traumatic occlusion deserve accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to ensure their comfort and quality of life.

Not all smiles line up perfectly—and sometimes that can be painful.

This is an example of a Class 3 malocclusion, where the lower jaw sits forward, causing the teeth to contact the wrong areas of the mouth. In some pets, this leads to teeth digging into the gums or palate, creating ongoing trauma, discomfort, and even infection. This lovely guy even had an EXTRA upper incisor. Dogs should have 6 incisors (front teeth) he had 7!

In cases like this, strategic tooth extraction isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about relieving pain and protecting long-term oral health 🦷🐾

If you notice unusual tooth positioning, difficulty eating, or signs of oral discomfort, it’s worth having your pet assessed. The team at Lakeview Animal Hospital is here to help create a treatment plan that keeps your pet comfortable and pain-free.

🐾 Class IV Laser Therapy for IVDD in Dogs at Lakeview Animal Hospital

Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) can cause pain, reduced mobility, and in some cases significant nerve compression in dogs. At Lakeview Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer Class IV laser therapy as part of our multimodal approach to managing this condition.

Class IV laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted light energy to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing. For dogs with IVDD, this therapy can support improved comfort, increased mobility, and a better quality of life—especially when combined with medical management, rest, and rehabilitation strategies.

Each treatment plan is tailored to your pet’s specific condition and needs, with a focus on gentle care and long-term wellbeing.

If your dog is showing signs of back pain, weakness, or difficulty walking, contact us to discuss whether Class IV laser therapy may be a helpful option.
