Fractured teeth do not always have to be removed 😮🤔‼️

Ingrid, our Specialist in Veterinary Dentistry and Head of Maxillofacial Surgery, discusses the importance of saving the tooth. 🦷 🤩

Fractured teeth with pulp exposure should not be ignored, it can be treated with root canal therapy or extracted. It's crucial to act decisively instead of adopting a "wait and see" approach.

Root canal treatment can effectively rescue these teeth without encountering the complications associated with extractions.

Did you know performing a root canal often takes the same time, or less, than conducting a surgical extraction of a large tooth, like the canines or carnassials?

Compared to tooth extraction, which is a surgically invasive procedure leading to a significant deficit in the jaw, endodontic treatment (root canal) preserves the function and appearance of the tooth, resulting in a better outcome for the patient, especially for the canines and carnassial teeth.

Remember to 📧 email or 📞call us if you have any queries, you can find more details on our website:

Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a chronic and severely debilitating condition. It causes severe oral inflammation and ulceration. Oral hygeine can help but often multiple teeth extractions are required.

We used our cone beam CT to understand exactly what was going on in Archie’s mouth. He had an unerupted supernumerary left maxillary fourth premolar (208)! We extracted the offending tooth and now he will feel much better. A very rare condition for a very special boy!

We are now on instagram. Please follow us if you would like to see the going on at DentalVets

We had a day of extracting unerupted teeth. Isla a 9 month old border terrier came to DentalVets for treatment of a malocclusion. However we also discovered unerupted left mandibular first premolar (305) and second molar (310). Anecdotal evidence from human dentistry tells us that unerupted teeth are painful and they can cause future pathology. We extracted both teeth and Isla is now recovering well at home.

How do you get ready for your weekend?
One of our patients today, Scout, prepped for a night out by getting her teeth fixed!
She came to us with a very painful fractured left mandibular canine (304). We performed root canal therapy to let her keep her tooth and avoid a traumatic extraction.
She was an exemplary patient today and we look forward to seeing her again in 6 months.
Pictures post root canal therapy and Scout with her lovely mum and dad and our friendly reception team.
Hope you all have a great weekend and we look forward to another week ahead of dentistry and oromaxillofacial surgery.

Our new toy is here! Last week our Newton 7G cone beam CT was installed. This week all of our clinical staff have been getting training by Fujifilm and are very excited to start using the cone beam CT for our cases.
Having a cone beam CT at DentalVets will allow us to offer advanced oromaxillofacial surgery treatment and diagnostic work up as well as superior imaging for our patients.

Daffodils, the facts 🌼

Daffodils are toxic to dogs and cats, and you should be careful if you have them growing on your lawn or if you’re walking your dog through a field that’s full of them. Daffodils contain small crystals that can cause severe tissue irritation.

Symptoms of daffodil poisoning include:
Nausea
Drooling
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Increased heart rate
Abnormal breathing
Abdominal pain

If you think your pet may have been in contact with daffodils or is showing any of these symptoms, contact your local vet ASAP.
