Meet the beautiful Pepper! We have gotten to know Pepper and her lovely dad over the last couple of months, after she came through as a referral from the lovely team at AnexaPets! ♥️😍 Pepper presented to Dr. Crystal for advanced care in the form of surgical treatment of severe gingival overgrowth.

Pepper presented with a condition known as gingival hyperplasia, where the gums proliferate abnormally. Despite being happy and otherwise healthy, these growths in her mouth were causing unseen periodontal disease which necessitated multiple extractions, as well as subclinical discomfort every time she chewed!

It took a couple of procedures to treat Pepper’s condition completely but Dr. Crystal was able to resect the redundant tissue and restore it to a more normal contour. We are now assisting Pepper with long term management to ensure it doesn’t become so severe again in the future!

With a dedicated owner and great team - you can see from the before and after photos that she has a lot to smile about! It’s been wonderful looking after you dear Pepper and we look forward to seeing you again soon ♥️♥️🐶

Look how cute this guy is in his little outfit! Cute Calvin won the team over last week at his post operative check following surgery to manage persistent deciduous teeth causing overcrowding, an impacted tooth, and a Class 3 Malocclusion. He has healed so well and was happy to soak up the attention with lots of adoration and treats, he even showed us his happy new smile ♥️😍 (shhhh … we wanted to steal him for a bit longer but we relented and let Mum take him home… 😝 🐶). We wish Calvin a lifetime of health and happiness!

♥️🥰ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL 🥰♥️

We have been a bit busy lately and haven’t had a chance to post about our wonderful patients but we just couldn’t resist today! It’s not very often that we have two patients of such an enormous size difference in on one day.

Today we had the beautiful Willow who returned for her follow up radiographs on a root canal treatment that Dr. Crystal did a year or so ago. Willow weighed in at 81.5kg, and right next to her was our gorgeous little Chihuahua puppy who weighed in at 900 grams!

Despite their size difference, both of these patients received the very best of care - needing tailored treatment for both their sizes to ensure that their anaesthesia and advanced dental procedures could be performed with success.

It is truly possible to love all our patients of every size and to care for them all in their own unique way. The team at Cambridge Vets, in particular stellar anaesthesia nurse Ej and amazing dental nurse Cindy, along with Dr. Crystal had the best day looking after both these wonderful patients. We wish them both the best in their recoveries and can’t wait to see them at their follow up checks ♥️♥️🐶🐕

How far can you go if you have the right knowledge and tools at your fingertips? How much can you learn and improve when you've had space to practice?

Every journey has a beginning, and pushing through our initial challenges in the right environment, with the right mentorship can set us up for future successes, and provide us a base to build our skills even more. Who knows where that journey might take us!

Dr. Crystal had an incredible last day and a half teaching various topics in dentistry to a very enthusiastic group of recent graduates and was really delighted to run this survey on the first afternoon, and compare it to the start of the second day. She wishes she ran it again at the completion of the course!

How positive and upbeat are these responses on the second day after just 2.5 hours of interactive and informative lectures?!! 😍🥰

Veterinary dentistry is a broad, constantly expanding and highly progressive discipline in veterinary medicine that has seen many changes in the last 20 years.

This course is created for passionate veterinarians who have a sound fundamental knowledge base and some practical experience in dentistry and who want to further advance their skill set to ensure they are staying current and providing the best possible care for their patients.

By completing this course, you will:

✅️Understand how to develop a structured diagnostic treatment plan for every dental case, from the initial consultation, to long-term post-operative management, including a thorough approach to the conscious oral examination, pre-anaesthetic considerations and pain management, with discussions around evidence-based homecare.
Learn specific techniques regarding the administration of local analgesia, as well as associated anatomic structures and how to minimise risks of complications

✅️Learn the principles of how to take diagnostic dental radiographs, including positioning for success and troubleshooting common errors, and develop further knowledge in image interpretation for treatment planning.

✅️Understand specific orodental diseases seen in cats and dogs in a general practice setting, including chronic disorders that can be a “pain” to manage.

✅️Develop a sound understanding of the principles of extraction, including equipment used and techniques, and how to treat commonly observed orodental conditions with minimal risk to the patient and reduce the likelihood of complications.

If only they could talk!! 🐱🐱🐈What stories could they tell us? 😯

Meet an adventurous and clever feline - Peppercorn, who went for a wander and got herself into a bit of trouble! 😯 After being missing for three weeks, she made her way back home to her worried mum, but with a terrible chronic lower lip degloving injury and two fractured canines.

She was cared for immediately by the amazing Dr. Dione ♥️🐈 and her team at Bayfair & Papamoa Vets who treated Peppercorn's painful condition medically until Dr. Crystal could see her.

By the time she had arrived to see us at New Zealand Veterinary Dentistry Ltd., the wound had started to heal and scar over, which was good as it meant infection was under control, but made it a bit more of a trickier operation.

Dr. Crystal had to re-create the degloving injury and advance the skin of the lip forward in order to reconstruct the bottom lip margin. She also performed root canal therapy on one of the fractured canines at the same time and sealed the other one against further damage.

Peppercorn proved to have an incredible fighting spirit and had the most loving care at home where her Mum made sure she didn't get into any further strife!! ♥️😅😍

When we saw her back three weeks later, the lip had healed perfectly and she was so bright! 🐈🐈

Many thanks to the incredible team at Papamoa Vets for their excellent communication and continued care of this gorgeous feline, and to the wonderful nurses CareVets Rototuna for their detailed surgical care and assistance.

Peppercorn, you truly amazed all of us with how well you have done post-surgery. We are looking forward to seeing you for your revisit next year! Until then, hope you go on many adventures, but perhaps not ones quite as adventurous as this one! 😍🥰🐱

Can you help Givealittle to precious Toby? He recently was adopted by a beautiful family and was sadly hit by a car in a sudden accident. Toby suffered fractures of his upper and lower jaw, which Dr. Crystal has repaired with non invasive splints. These still need to be removed and he may have teeth that may need to be extracted as a result of the accident.

Moe’s Tooth Fairy Fund which was founded by Dr. Crystal has contributed a chunk towards his care, but his family still needs a bit of a helping hand. He has a gorgeous little boy who is his best mate and his family is undergoing very difficult personal circumstances at the moment. Any bit will help. Thank you ♥️🐕🐶😍

We get asked this a lot in clinical practice - what sort of toy can my dog chew on? 🧐

Today we are shedding some light on TENNIS BALLS (and similar ball toys with a fibre surface) -they're so easy to acquire, play with, and our dogs love them! But did you know that the fabric on the external surface of tennis balls can actually be quite abrasive on your dog's teeth? 🎾 🐶 🦷😭

When the dog grips the ball or chews it regularly, particularly if the ball is thrown onto sand or gritty surfaces, the fibres can act like sandpaper and result in chronic wear leading to dental pain.

Dogs do not always show overt signs of pain so often this goes undiagnosed for some time. Some dogs are such voracious and obsessive chewers that they can wear their teeth down to nubs! 😩😩

We have seen many dogs over the years who have presented with abrasive wear on their teeth. This often is affecting multiple teeth in the mouth and in some teeth, where the rate of abrasion exceeds the tooth’s ability to produce reparative dentine, will result in pulp exposure. This can be severely painful and eventually leads to pulp death, infection of the tooth and in some cases, abscesses at end of the root.

The dogs that are in these photographs were happy tennis ball chewers until it was discovered that they had infected and dead teeth in their mouth as a result of this! 😢

Treatment for teeth that are compromised endodontically involves surgical extraction of the teeth or root canal therapy. 🦷🦷👩🏻‍⚕️🐶

For safer alternatives - choose balls that are made of a smooth or not so rough rubber ✔️ rather than fibre, or rubber ones which are oblong shaped ✔️ or made of a rubber lattice ✔️ (great for water play!!!), and monitor your dog's teeth, especially if they're big chewers.
👍👍🐕🐕

If you find that the tops of the teeth are starting to look blunt and worn, or have a red or black spot appearing on the top surface of the tooth, it might be time to get their teeth checked to make sure that there isn’t a compromised tooth hiding there. 🙂🦷👀

Happy playing! 🐶 🐕🤩

Oooh, we love a cute patient with a waggy tail! This is the most adorable Sally who presented to us last year for a large oral mass associated with the front of her right jaw. This had been previously debulked by her veterinarians but grew back. Luckily for Sally this was a locally invasive odontogenic tumour (oral mass originating from dental tissues) which could be removed readily without affecting her appearance or jaw structure majorly.

It is always important to obtain an initial diagnosis via biopsy for oral masses prior to surgical excision so that the best surgical and/or treatment strategy can be selected for the patient.

Sally came back for a post-operative visit just before Christmas and was happy to show off how well she had healed!

This was a special case for Dr. Crystal as Sally's mum used to be a client of hers many years ago when Dr. Crystal practiced as a general veterinarian! It was so lovely to catch up with her again and be able to help her gorgeous Sally 😍🥰

Thank you to the team at AnexaPets, especially Dr. Rolando at Anexa Raglan, for the referral and outstanding care of little Sally ♥️

Hello everyone and welcome to the page for New Zealand Veterinary Dentistry Ltd., which is a veterinary dental referral service providing advanced dentistry services to companion animals, predominantly in the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty region. We also provide dentistry training to veterinarians and veterinary nurses throughout New Zealand.

We are pleased to introduce Dr. Crystal Loh, BSc Hons, DVM, MANZCVS, DAVDC. Dr. Loh graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in Canada in 2007, and completed an internship at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville before moving to New Zealand in search of hobbits and to further her experiences abroad. She transitioned from mixed animal practice to companion animal practice, where she developed a keen interest in veterinary dentistry. Since then, Dr. Loh has been pursuing further advancement in the field of veterinary dentistry, inspired by her beautiful late greyhound Moe, who throughout his life was plagued with periodontal disease and other dental problems.

Dr. Loh acquired her memberships by examination with the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in 2016, and in 2022 successfully became a fully board certified diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College, also by examination.

She has two beautiful sons named Arthur and Henry, and a loving husband named Colin who is a true blue kiwi dairy farmer in the Waikato. Together they have 2 dogs, including a recently adopted retired racing greyhound named Spike, a working dog named Jet, a special needs cat named Wiggles who has cerebellar ataxia, a “normal cat” called Milky and 7 pet goats.

In her spare time, Dr. Loh enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, hiking, reading, gardening, playing piano and violin, and making all kinds of delicious foods.

Dr. Loh is looking forward to continuing to provide excellent veterinary dental care to companion animals in New Zealand through this service, while inspiring and educating other veterinary professionals with her passion for this particular field in the industry.

Please contact us today at [email protected] or message us through Whatsapp or through this page. We would love to hear from you!

Dr. Crystal has gone to this lovely human dental practice Changing Faces in Hamilton to have her teeth cared and looked after for years.

Meet gorgeous Timmy the amazing Tibetan Spaniel! Timmy was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got bowled by a much larger dog when he was wee pup, resulting in bilateral fractures of his mandibles. Since both sides of his jaw was broken, when he first presented he was unable to close his mouth.

He had incredible willpower to survive though, still eating even with the fractures, and his loving family gave him the best chance to recover.

Dr. Crystal was able to manage his fractures with non-invasive methods, and his devoted family looked after him intensively in the immediate post operative period, with the assistance of his awesome vet Dr. Katrina at AnexaPets, especially as Dr. Crystal was overseas during his recovery period!!

It all paid off as three months later he has walked in with a bounce in his step, a smile on his face and the most sunny demeanour - you wouldn’t even know anything traumatic had happened to him!

Jaw fractures in dogs and cats are tricky but can be managed well with successful outcomes. We are so chuffed that you are living life to its fullest with a grin on your face, dear Timmy! Come back and visit us again soon ♥️♥️♥️

Throwback to some of the incredible patients we had the opportunity to care for in 2023! We are so blessed to be able to provide gold standard care to our patients, and little Daisy was no exception, with her special anaesthesia and dental needs. She required a team effort, and as it turns out, her Mum and Dr. Crystal hit it off and caught up several times during the year after her procedure. Each time, Daisy came for a social visit and showed off just how well she recovered from her procedure.

After all, when you can catch up with your patients for a coffee date during a post-operative follow up, you know they’re pretty special!
---
Meet Daisy, she is a gorgeous now 14 year old Pomeranian who came to see Dr. Crystal earlier in 2023. Daisy had severe periodontal disease despite her doting Mum’s best efforts to try and keep her teeth clean, with much of the disease being under the gumline. It is very common for the severity of periodontal disease to be underestimated in a conscious examination because of this, which demonstrates the absolute importance of periodontal probing and dental radiography in every dental case work up! Periodontal disease is especially important to manage in small breed dogs who often have proportionately larger teeth and smaller jaws.

In addition, Daisy had a number of other issues that made her a difficult anaesthetic case to manage. Dr. Crystal enlisted the help of Dr. Aurore Scordino, who has expertise in emergency medicine, to tailor a plan for her and manage her anaesthetic safely. Daisy came through the anaesthetic with flying colours, but unfortunately had to have all the remaining teeth in her mouth extracted. Since then she has gotten the bounce back in her step and has smiled all the way through!

We love seeing Daisy and her wonderful Mum, and hope we catch up with them again soon in 2024!🥰😍

Thank you very much to the talented Dr. Scordino, the team at Anexa Ngaruawahia, and Daisy's wonderful referring veterinarians, at VetPlus Rotorua 😍🥰♥️

Meet Mossy, the bestest dog who literally wins over anyone who is lucky enough to meet him! 🐶

Mossy came to us after being involved in a traumatic incident where he was run over and subsequently stuck underneath a car. He sustained a number of injuries, including a fracture of his left lower jaw, separation of his mandibular symphysis (the joint that holds the two halves of the jaw together), a fractured roof of the mouth, a shattered molar tooth and a fractured upper carnassial tooth on the right side!!!

We got to know Mossy very well over the course of his treatment and couldn't have been more honoured to look after such a beautiful, kind and energetic pup. Dr. Crystal repaired his jaw using a temporary acrylic splint, extracted the shattered molar tooth and performed a root canal treatment to salvage the fractured carnassial tooth.

He had an incredible vet team helping support us through his care with his wonderful referring vet Dr. Lily Chau at VetEnt Te Awamutu, who put so much time, effort and love into his recovery. Special thanks to the great team at CareVets Rototuna for their efforts and care in nursing him through each of his anaesthetics. Not only this but he had the most dedicated owners who poured so much time and love into those tough early weeks so he could have the best possible outcome.

Mossy, we were so privileged to be able to care for you and are absolutely stoked that you can carry on living your best life, you're a ray of sunshine to EVERYONE'S life! We love you 😍😍
