Did you know that not every fractured tooth requires extraction? If a tooth is fractured without fracturing into the pulp cavity, often a bonded sealant may be applied. This process seals the dentin tubules to prevent infection and allows the tooth time to lay down new dentin to protect itself. With a careful process of smoothing and sealing these teeth we can give the pet the opportunity to keep teeth healthy in their mouths. These teeth do need to be monitored with x-rays throughout their lives to ensure they remain vital but it is a great option for our pets.

We love when our patients are this happy!
Dr. Sitzman has some surprising hidden talents. Among these is his masterful grasp of the accordion for playing in a Polka band. He and his band have quite a following in the Fort Collins area.
Ruby heads to her new home!!
Ruby heads for her new home in Texas this weekend. As you can see, she has doubled her weight in the last two weeks. We wish her well and will miss her. We will update her story when she comes for further dental care when her damaged adult teeth begin to erupt.
Her jaw works just fine
ruby continues to heal rapidly and is now playing tug of war. She has been fostered by Kristin and Theresa, and is now 80% house trained. Pretty good for around 8 weeks old.
time to go to work!
Everyone has to pull their weight around here, so we have had to put Ruby to work in the clinic. As shown in the video, her first assigned duty is to assist sweeping the floors.
