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 ♥️♥️🐶
