Now presenting our patient of the week, Heidi!

Heidi is a 10-month-old Great Pyrenees mix who came to see us because her lower left canine tooth and first premolar never erupted. Her general practice veterinarian took x-rays of the area and found that the teeth were very misshapen and impacted, so they sent her our way!

Heidi was adopted as a stray when she was a young puppy. It is possible that her adult canine and first premolar were damaged when they were just developing tooth buds inside her jaw due to some unknown trauma such as an animal bite. Since the teeth were damaged, they were not able to erupt normally. It is important to remove impacted teeth because if left in place, they can lead to the formation of a cyst called a dentigerous cyst.

Luckily for Heidi, there was no evidence of such a cyst forming. Heidi had her “missing” teeth extracted, along with the second premolar which had erupted but was also damaged and abnormal. Heidi bounced back quickly from anesthesia and in two weeks she’ll be all healed up like nothing ever happened!

Meet Katie Karina!

Katie Karina is a 2-year-old Yorkie that is a regular patient of Animal Dental Care and Oral Surgery. Katie has a history of retained baby teeth and an overbite that required treatment last year and presented this week for her annual dental cleaning.

Katie Karina's owner has been taking great care of her teeth at home, so only one tiny tooth needed to be extracted this year! Katie Karina is an excellent example of how early and frequent dental care can help prevent future tooth loss, even in a small breed dog!

It's patient of the week time!

Meet cute little Cricket!

Cricket came into ADCOS to have his annual professional dental cleaning and COHAT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment & Treatment) done and to have a recheck for his left upper 4th premolar, which had root canal treatment in December 2022.

When patients like Cricket have root canal treatment done, it is important for them to come in every year to monitor the tooth, as root canal treatment can sometimes fail, necessitating further treatment. This is rare, but dogs are great at hiding problems in their mouths, so dental x-rays are key to diagnose root canal treatment failure early. It is also a great time to check up on all of the other teeth and address any new dental or oral health concerns.

Cricket’s tooth was still stable at this time, which is great news! We look forward to seeing Cricket every year since he is a happy, cute, good boy.

We are thankful that his family takes his oral health seriously and does at home dental care year around along with his COHAT.

This little cutie is Grrtie!

Grrtie is an 8-year-old Brussels Griffon/Pekingese cross who is full of s***k and personality. Grrtie has had a lot of health issues in the past but is doing great now, so she was finally able to have her teeth addressed.

Grrtie is a mix of two small breed, brachycephalic (squish nosed) dog breeds, which puts her at risk for dental troubles. Because of the way her face is shaped, several of Grrtie's teeth are rotated and crowded which makes them more likely to have periodontal disease, which ended up being the case for many of Grrtie's teeth which caused them to have significant bone loss, and to become mobile.

In the images below, the blue line represents the level of periodontal bone Grrtie has now, and the red line represents the level of bone she started with. Grrtie was able to have all of her diseased teeth removed, leaving her with a healthier, pain free mouth!
