Stella came to see us after suffering a complicated crown fracture with pulp exposure—a painful dental injury that requires treatment 🦷
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes exposed, it can lead to significant discomfort and ongoing pain. To help restore comfort and protect her oral health, Stella’s affected tooth was extracted.
One of our favorite parts of Stella’s visit? She spent the day hanging out with our team instead of staying in a cage and received plenty of extra attention while she recovered 💙
We’re so happy to help Stella get back to feeling her best.

Zoe stopped by for her recheck yesterday and she’s doing great 💙
During her procedure, Zoe needed 6 teeth extracted along with 4 retained root tips. We also found significant tooth wear (abrasion) and several fractured crowns from years of chewing on hard treats and toys.
Not all worn teeth need treatment, but when a fracture exposes the pulp (the sensitive center of the tooth), it can be painful and requires treatment—typically extraction or root canal therapy.
One of our favorite ways to help prevent dental fractures is the Thumb Nail Rule: 👍
If you can press your thumbnail into a toy or treat, it’s generally safe for your pet’s teeth. If you can’t make an indent, it’s too hard and could lead to damage.
We’re so happy to see Zoe healing well and feeling better 🦷✨

Is your cat struggling with stomatitis (FCGS)? We may be able to help.
We are currently enrolling eligible feline patients in an exciting clinical trial studying a new Hyaluronic Acid gel therapy designed to support healing and comfort after full-mouth extractions.
Potential benefits may include:
🐾 Reduced oral inflammation and pain
🐾 Faster healing after surgery
🐾 Improved recovery and comfort
Cats may qualify if they:
• Have a confirmed diagnosis of stomatitis (FCGS)
• Are candidates for full-mouth extraction
• Meet additional study requirements
Participants will also help advance veterinary medicine and future treatment options for cats suffering from this painful condition.

March 23 is National Puppy Day 🐶💛
Today we’re celebrating the wiggly tails, oversized paws, and endless kisses that make puppyhood so special. It’s also the perfect reminder that early veterinary care — including oral exams — plays a big role in setting puppies up for a lifetime of health.
Those tiny baby teeth may be cute, but monitoring eruption, retained deciduous teeth, and bite alignment early can help prevent discomfort and dental issues down the road.
Here’s to healthy starts, happy smiles, and all the puppy snuggles. 🐾🦷✨
Drop a photo of your puppy below — we’d love to see them!

A Class I malocclusion (also called neutroclusion) occurs when the jaw alignment is normal, but one or more teeth are in abnormal positions. In young pets, retained or abnormally positioned deciduous (baby) teeth can prevent permanent teeth from erupting correctly.
Early extraction of these deciduous teeth is often the key to resolution. When addressed promptly, it allows the adult teeth time to drift into a more natural position while the jaw still has maximum growth potential and plasticity.
Waiting too long can mean the malposition becomes permanent — and may require more advanced orthodontic or surgical intervention later.
If you notice crowded, rotated, or displaced teeth in your puppy or kitten, a veterinary dental evaluation can make all the difference.
📞 Early assessment. Healthier bite. Better future.

March is Pet Poison Prevention Awareness Month 🐾
Many everyday household items can be dangerous for pets — even in small amounts. From certain human foods and medications to plants, cleaners, and supplements, accidental exposures happen more often than most pet parents realize.
Common toxins include:
• Chocolate & xylitol
• Human medications (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen)
• Grapes & raisins
• Lilies (especially dangerous for cats)
• Household cleaners and essential oils
If you ever suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinarian immediately or call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.
A few simple precautions — secure storage, checking ingredients, and knowing what’s toxic — can make all the difference.
Prevention saves lives. 💚🐶🐱

Meet Ronin 🐾🦷 — one of our recent (very cute) dental patients!
Dr. Wood evaluated Ronin for a Class I malocclusion, meaning his upper and lower jaws were aligned normally, but one tooth was displaced. In his case, he had a base narrow deciduous right mandibular canine (804) — a baby tooth positioned too far toward the tongue.
When deciduous (baby) teeth are abnormally positioned, early extraction is key. Removing them promptly gives the permanent teeth the best opportunity to move into a healthier position while the jaws are still growing and have the most plasticity.
Ronin also had a deep palatal depression just behind the upper right lateral incisor. The trauma from tooth contact had progressed enough to create a draining tract along the outer gum surface. Due to the damage, the affected incisor (503) was extracted to resolve the source of infection and discomfort.
Early intervention in developing malocclusions can prevent long-term pain, infection, and more complex orthodontic or surgical procedures later on.
We’ll be seeing Ronin back for rechecks — and we have more cases coming soon to share! 🐶✨

Feline stomatitis is far more than mild gum irritation — it’s a severe, painful oral disease that can greatly impact your cat’s comfort, appetite, and quality of life.
This condition causes widespread inflammation of the gums and mouth tissues, often making eating extremely painful. Cats with stomatitis may drool excessively, develop mouth ulcers, avoid food, or show noticeable behavior changes due to chronic pain.
🚩 Signs to watch for:
• Red, inflamed gums or ulcers
• Excessive drooling
• Difficulty eating or food avoidance
• Poor oral hygiene
• Changes in behavior or mood
At Veterinary Dental Center of Atlanta, our team focuses on early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment to reduce pain, manage inflammation, and improve your cat’s day-to-day comfort.
If your cat is showing signs of oral pain, a veterinary dental exam can make a life-changing difference. 🐱💙
