This sweet 10 year-old buddy was referred to by the awesome team at . His vet diagnosed him with an oral tumor on his rostral (front portion) mandible. Knowing surgery was an option, Marty’s veterinarian biopsied the tumor to get a diagnosis, and then referred him to for surgery to completely remove the tumor. We are happy to report that Dr. Ringen was able to do just that, and although Marty’s lower jaw is a bit shorter now he no longer has this nasty tumor eating away at it! If your pet is diagnosed with an oral tumor please feel free to reach out to us to learn about treatment options.

A lot can happen in a year! Abby came back to us for her annual COHAT this week, and the same teeth that looked great a year ago had significant bone loss this year as a result of ongoing dental disease. This is a perfect example of the importance of an anesthetized oral health exam with dental radiographs 👍🏼 because as you can see from the picture of her teeth everything above the gum line looked great, but that wasn’t really the case! It was great seeing you, Abby! See you next year 🦷 🎉

SAVE THE TOOTH FOR YOUR PET!

Meet Odie J, who was brought to us for root canal treatment of his discolored and dead canine tooth.

Canine teeth are important and functional teeth that our pets use in their everyday life. When they are discolored or broken, they need to be treated. Check out our website and call us for more information about root canal treatment for your pet!

Just because a tooth is broken, doesn’t mean it needs to be pulled. Root canal treatment is an excellent treatment option which avoids oral surgery and saves functional tooth structure. In some cases a metal crown can also be placed to further help protect the tooth.

Does your pet have a broken tooth? Give us a ring to find out which treatment option is best for your pet!
