Otter was referred to Dr. Block for a fractured and infected upper right deciduous third premolar tooth. Otter's CB-CT showed all other dentition and structures appeared normal for his age and stage of development while the 3-D reconstruction showed a healing, right maxillary non-displaced fracture on the buccal bone surface. Otter was a perfect patient for his procedure and was back to his normal puppy self by the next day. We are so pleased we were able to help this sweet boy have a more comfortable smile.

Maple and John took 1st place!
Handsome Hank came to see Dr. Block for a COHAT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment) and stage 3 periodontal disease. Our Cone Beam CT revealed his left mandibular premolar and the molar behind were sharing a deep pocket, so Dr. Block extracted the smaller tooth allowing the diseased pocket to be debrided and closed. The mandibles on dogs meet at the front fibrous joint that can relax with age. Dr. Block suspects this common process is allowing Hank's right mandibular canine to be occasionally visible outside of his lip but based on his CBCT scan and full mouth readiographs there was no indication to extract his canine tooth at this time. Hank was a star patient and we are pawsitively pleased Pruyn Veterinary Hospital sent this sweet boy our way.
Willow was referred to us by the terrific team at Sentinel Veterinary Specialists & Emergency where she was examined after being hit by a car. Our Cone Beam CT revealed multiple mandibular and maxillary fractures as well as dental injuries and a traumatic rupture into her nasal cavity. After a few extractions, surgical repair of the rupture and ultrasonic scaling, hand scaling and polishing she was sent home in her soft muzzle which will help stabilize her jaw as the fractures heal. Willow was a perfect patient and we are so happy to be part of her healthcare team.
