Pedodontics
From young puppies and cats, to young adults, proper dental assessment and care is an important part of their overall health management. Early intervention with malocclusions, retained deciduous teeth and other issues can start these patients off in the right direction.
Senior Dentistry
Senior and geriatric patients have a higher incidence of periodontal disease, with likely impact on their systemic health. Full evaluation of their health status may lead to adjustments in anesthetic protocols and management but taking care of their oral health is more important at this stage of life for your patients.
Feline Dentistry
Cats display several unique conditions when it comes to the oral cavity, even though the basic concepts of periodontal disease apply. Stomatitis can be a frustrating syndrome, and while conservative and medical choices may help patients in the early stages of the disease, often caudal mouth extractions become necessary eventually. Tooth resorptions are also challenging and frequently require extraction as well.
Intraoral Radiology
Intraoral radiology is being recognized as an essential part of dental practice, needed in nearly aspect of dentistry, from proper evaluation of periodontal disease to pre- and post-extraction films. The techniques of placing the film and aiming the radiographic beam can be challenging, but these skills are easily learned.
Basic Oral Surgery
As part of basic oral surgery, extractions can be time-consuming and frustrating if the right steps are not taken. From pain management to specific steps of gingival flaps, sectioning teeth and elevating, by using the right tools and right steps, extractions can have less complications and more success. In addition, these basic skills of oral surgery can be used to provide appropriate treatment for conditions such as oronasal fistulas and gingival hyperplasia.
