What are the 2 Ps you ask?
Why that’s easy
Pulp exposure and periodontal disease.
We see both daily, which is why people stick with us for quality
Of course you could ask a friend what they think
But chances are the friend has absolutely no idea what they are talking about

We might not be your friend but we also won’t give you s**t advice

We have made many posts explaining and even more featuring pulp exposure.Thats because not only is it important, but it is also very common. Just how common would probably still surprise you 😳
So what are you seeing here?
The very fine file is entering and exiting the canal which would normally be sealed and filled with the tooth’s nerves and blood supply.

Some Fowl language after more disgruntled animals arrived at the wrong Dr 😉

Another battle of Pus istance

26/06/2025

A couple of quick points here, after a frosty and icy start this morning in ballarat ( remember we pretty much get everywhere by road and they were treacherous ) This morning interesting case was located nearby and referred by the vets at Western Equine Veterinary Services of Werribee. Before giving a few details on this case just a change of tack for a moment. You see you might notice that there’s a photo of a coffee ☕️ so here’s the thing Illask you all to think about briefly. In every city and small town in Australia you can buy a cup of coffee ☕️ and for many people that’s enough, they just want to know that they have purchased coffee in a cup. However some people perhaps with a deeper understanding of coffee making and drinking will want to purchase the right ☕️ coffee. One that is the correct temperature, and tastes the way that they want. For these people … their are a lot less options
Now re read that paragraph and replace cup of coffee with DENTAL SURGERY.
Ok now to the case
In this case a much loved pony ❤️ has been prone to a cold 🤧
yet when the vet came to examine the pony they had the right approach and checked to see if there were any obvious abnormalities with an upper cheek tooth.🦷 as that might have been the cause of a tooth root infection and sinusitis ( which would present as a runny, snotty nose. ) On finding a fractured cheek tooth on the same side of the mouth as the snotty nose they then referred the case on to one of that small group of people focussed on dental surgery.
Now, time to find a decent cup of coffee ☕️
Which might take longer than the several hour surgery given how hard that can be.

Ever hear the phrase Pus istance pays off? It’s fair to say the we sometimes work in conditions that are challenging. However we know that doesn’t go unnoticed and it certainly will be appreciated by this patient, who will now be pus free.

Resorptive lesions like the one shown are common AND easily missed, they also appear between checkups, such as this one which was found today but wasn’t present at the last checkup 6 months prior.
Lesions such as this can only be dealt with via surgery to remove the tooth. A surgery that we are very familiar with having performed it “ once or twice “
It is just another small… example of why what we do here is not what you’ll find most places that you’ll go looking 👀
