a little heads up about our schedule this month ☎️

12/13/2024

Skinny presented for swelling above the right maxillary 4th premolar and 1st molar. Cone beam CT and intraoral radiographs showed no changes to the crowns, tooth roots, or associated alveolar bone. Skinny appears to have localized gingivitis without loss of tooth attachment (stage 1 periodontal disease). At home care will be implemented to help maintain his periodontal and dental health. Thank you Belle Forest Animal Hospital for referring this majestic boy. 🐈‍⬛🩶

Meet Nemo, a 6 month old Persian, that presented for open-mouth jaw locking. A cone beam CT was performed and imaging confirmed displacement of his coronoid process. This is likely due to a congenital malformation with his jaws. Buttons were fixated to prevent him from accidentally moving this bone into an abnormal location. Thank you Battleground Hospital for Animals for the referral. 🐈🫶

Cowboy presented for evaluation of potential periodontal disease. Cone beam CT revealed significant tooth resorption of the right mandibular 1st molar. This tooth was surgically extracted to remove it as a source of pain and inflammation. The left maxillary 1st incisor was also almost completely resorbed, so the crown was removed + the site closed. His teeth were also scaled + polished, yeehaw! 🤠 🩵

Tulip presented for a definitive surgery for her previously diagnosed Papillary Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Due to the local aggressive nature of this oral tumor, a caudal maxillectomy from her right maxillary 3rd premolar to the 2nd molar was performed. We are THRILLED to report that her biospy report came back with clean margins! Thank you Dr. Bernstein at Hillsboro Animal Hospital for referring Tulip 🌷

Roxie presented for evaluation after being struck by a vehicle. Our cone beam CT revealed a mandibular fracture. Due to the location of the fracture and Roxie's size, an open reduction and internal fixation with a titanium plate and screws would offer the best chance for proper healing and return to normal function. The plate was placed along the ventral aspect of the caudal mandibular ramus. The mandibular drift was corrected, and normal occlusion was restored. Thank you, Bells Animal Clinic, for the referral of this sweetheart. 🐾
