🦷 狗狗嘅「牙中牙」：寵主必知！🐾

聽過 牙中牙 (Dens in Dente) 未？牙中牙係狗狗嘅牙齒發育問題，琺瑯質向內摺，形成一個深坑。如果唔早啲發現，會有大問題！一齊嚟了解吓：

❓ 牙中牙係乜嘢？

牙齒畸形，琺瑯質喺牙齒發育時向內摺，形成深坑。

牙齒發育時出問題，睇起來好似「牙入面有隻牙」。

⚠️ 點解係問題？

細菌入侵：深坑畀細菌有機可乘，入到牙髓，引發感染或痛症。

牙周病：可能引起牙周組織發炎或骨質流失。

治療麻煩：牙齒形狀怪，杜牙根會更困難。

🩺 點樣發現？

定期 牙科X光檢查 可以睇到隱藏嘅深坑或異常牙形。

定期帶狗狗檢查牙齒係關鍵！

🛠️ 治療方法

封坑：如果早發現，可以用補牙物料封住深坑，防止細菌入侵。

杜牙根：如果牙髓已經受感染，需做根管治療醫治。

牙根手術：有啲情況可能要手術處理牙根感染。

拔牙：如果牙齒嚴重損壞，可能要拔除。

🐕 幫狗狗保持牙齒檢查

定期帶狗狗做 牙科檢查。

留意狗狗有冇口臭、咬嘢困難或牙肉腫脹。

早發現早治療，幫狗狗遠離痛症同保住牙齒！🦴

🦷 Dens in Dente in Dogs: A Must-Know for Pet Owners! 🐾

Ever heard of Dens in Dente? It’s a dental issue in dogs where the tooth enamel folds inward, creating a deep pit. This can cause big problems if not caught early! Here’s the scoop:

❓ What is Dens in Dente?

A tooth malformation where enamel folds into the tooth, forming a pit.

Caused during tooth development, leading to a “tooth within a tooth” look.

⚠️ Why is it a Problem?

Bacteria Trap: Pits let bacteria sneak into the tooth’s pulp, causing infections or pain.

Gum Issues: Can lead to inflammation or bone loss around the tooth.
Tricky Treatments: Root canals are tougher due to the tooth’s odd shape.

🩺 How is it Found?

Routine dental X-rays at the vet reveal the hidden pit or extra tooth-like structure.

Regular checkups are key to catching it early!

🛠️ Treatment Options

Seal It: Early detection? A sealant can block bacteria.

Root Canal: If infected, a root canal cleans out the problem.

Surgical endodontics: Some cases need root surgery to fix root infections.

Extraction: Severely damaged teeth may need to be removed.

🐕 Keep Your Pup Smiling!

Schedule regular dental checkups for your dog.

Watch for signs like bad breath, chewing issues, or swelling.

Early care prevents pain and saves teeth! 🦴

**點解寵物生少咗牙要重視 🐶🐱**

喺哈比獸醫牙科，我哋用心保護你嘅寵物口腔健康！狗狗同貓貓生少隻牙可能隱藏問題。以下係點解要查明原因：

有啲寵物天生無某啲牙（牙齒發育不全，hypodontia），通常無大礙。但缺牙亦可能係牙齒未有長出，卡喺牙肉下。呢啲未長出嘅牙齒可能引發嚴重問題，例如**牙源性囊腫**，即係圍繞卡住嘅牙齒形成嘅液體囊。如果唔處理，可能會：
- 損壞附近骨頭同牙齒
- 引起痛楚或腫脹
- 導致感染，甚至下顎骨折

透過詳細口腔檢查同影像診斷，我哋可以及早發現問題，防止併發症。

**點解牙科CT咁重要**
牙科CT係先進嘅3D影像技術，詳細顯示寵物牙齒、下顎同周圍結構。牙科CT可以：
- 精確定位未萌出嘅牙齒
- 喺囊腫造成大傷害前檢測出來
- 計劃安全有效嘅治療，例如手術移除囊腫或處理受影響嘅牙齒

咁可以確保我哋唔會漏掉任何細節。

**保護你寵物嘅笑容！**
定期牙科檢查幫你嘅毛孩保持健康快樂。如果發現寵物缺牙或口腔有腫脹、不適，請即刻聯繫Apex獸醫牙科同口腔外科。

Why Missing Pet Teeth Matter 🐶🐱

At Apex Veterinary Dentistry, we prioritize your pet’s oral health! Missing teeth in dogs or cats can signal issues like hypodontia (harmless) or unerupted teeth, which may cause dentigerous cysts. Untreated, these can lead to:

Bone/tooth damage
Pain or swelling
Infections or jaw fractures
Dental CT is key! This helps us:

Locate trapped teeth
Detect cysts early
Plan safe treatments
Protect your pet’s smile with regular dental checkups. Noticed missing teeth or swelling? Contact us!

🚨 貓奴注意！貓咪的牙齒咬合不正其實比你想像中常見！😺 建議喺貓仔5-6個月大時就做牙齒檢查！
喺香港，最常見嘅咬合問題係上顎前臼齒碰到下顎牙肉，導致合嘴時長期痛楚。😿 貓咪可能有2-3日食少咗但之後好轉，若唔處理，可能引發牙周病，嚴重到1.5歲前就要拔牙！
我哋而家建議用牙科CT掃描評估咬合不正，特別係下臼齒引起嘅嚴重問題，有時甚至會影響眼睛！👀
好消息係，如果及早發現，唔少咬合問題可以唔使拔牙就解決！治療方案包括移動牙齒、改變牙齒形狀，或者治療由咬合不正引起嘅牙周病。💪

🚨 Cat parents, did you know malocclusion in cats is more common than you think? 😺 Get your young cat a dental check as early as 5-6 months!
In Hong Kong, a common issue is the upper premolar rubbing against the lower jaw‘s gum, causing chronic pain when the jaw closes. 😿 Cats may eat poorly for a few days and seem to recover, but untreated malocclusion can lead to serious periodontal disease, forcing tooth extractions before your cat is even 1.5 years old!
We now recommend dental CT scans to assess traumatic malocclusion, especially when lower molars cause severe issues—sometimes even affecting the eyes! 👀
The good news? Early detection means we can often treat without extractions by moving teeth, reshaping them, or managing periodontal disease. 💪

✨ 認識我們的牙科CT機！🦷
最近越來越多人留意到我們診所的新設備——牙科CT機！這是只有少數獸醫診所有的儀器！今天為大家解答幾個常見問題，幫你更了解這台「牙科神器」！🐾

💡 1. 牙科CT和普通CT有什麼不同？
牙科CT專為頭部設計，影像解析度比普通CT更高，輻射量更低！🖼️ 但它主要用於頭部檢查，胸腔或腹腔檢查就交給普通CT吧！

💡 2. 為什麼需要牙科CT？
牙科CT能更精準診斷牙科疾病，比如咬合不正、牙齒囊腫，甚至為手術做詳細計劃，讓治療更順利！🔍

💡 3. 什麼時候需要牙科CT？

咬合不正評估
頭部創傷或腫瘤檢查
牙齒囊腫或殞牙問題
短臉動物（如八哥、法虎）的牙齒檢查
💡 4. 為什麼我們不把牙科CT用於例行檢查？
雖然牙科CT輻射量低，但仍比普通X光高。我們希望避免動物承受不必要輻射！📸 一般牙科X光已能滿足大部分需求，而且CT解讀需更長麻醉時間，並非每隻毛孩都需要。

🐶 想了解更多牙科CT的資訊？留言告訴我們吧！💬

✨ Say hello to our Dental CT machine! 🦷
Our clinic’s cutting-edge Dental CT is catching everyone’s attention! Only a handful of vet clinics have this tech, so let’s answer some FAQs to show you why it’s a game-changer for pet care! 🐾

💡 1. How’s a Dental CT different from a regular CT?
Dental CTs focus on the head, delivering sharper images with less radiation than regular CTs. 🖼️ Perfect for dental or head issues but not ideal for chest or abdominal scans.

💡 2. Why use a Dental CT?
It helps us diagnose dental conditions like misaligned bites or cysts with precision and plan surgeries better—keeping your pet’s smile healthy! 😺

💡 3. When do we need a Dental CT?

Checking misaligned bites
Head trauma or tumuors
Dental cysts or retained tooth roots
Dental exams for short-faced breeds (like pugs or Frenchies)
💡 4. Why don’t we use Dental CT for routine checkups?
Even with low radiation, the dose is still higher than standard X-rays. We prioritize minimizing radiation for your pet! 🐶 Routine dental X-rays are often enough, and interpreting CTs require longer anesthesia, which isn’t always necessary.

😺 貓咪口腔健康警訊！
🚨 認識口炎
🦷 口炎讓貓咪牙齦紅腫、疼痛，甚至影響食慾和心情！😿 可能由病毒、免疫問題或牙菌斑引起。症狀包括流口水、口腔異味或行為改變。
❌ 重要提醒：初始治療不要使用抗生素或類固醇！這些藥物可能掩蓋問題或帶來副作用，延誤正確治療，甚至減低康復機會。 ✅ 正確做法：找專業獸醫牙科診所（如我們Apex Veterinary Dentistry）進行檢查、清潔或手術，搭配長期口腔護理。
💡 預防方法：定期檢查貓咪口腔🪥， 讓毛孩遠離牙齦口炎的困擾～
📩 懷疑你的貓咪有口炎？DM我們或預約檢查！🐾

😺 Cat Oral Health Alert!
🚨 Understanding Gingivostomatitis 🦷 Gingivostomatitis causes painful, swollen gums in cats, impacting their appetite and mood!
😿 It may stem from viruses, immune issues, or plaque buildup. Look out for drooling, bad breath, or behaviour changes.
❌ Key Note: Avoid antibiotics or steroids as initial treatments! These can mask issues or cause side effects, delaying proper care. Worse, they may lower recovery chances.
✅ What to Do: Visit a vet dentist (like us at Apex Veterinary Dentistry) for exams, diagnosis, and surgery, plus long-term oral care.
💡 Prevention Tip: Regular dental checkups is important🪥. Protect your fur baby from gingivostomatitis!
📩 Suspect gingivostomatitis? DM us or book an appointment! 🐾
