Does my dog or cat need to see a veterinary dentist…What is a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist™ anyway?

How can I get more information about what is going on in my pet’s mouth?

WSVDOS provides in-clinic awake oral exams, & complimentary phone consultations to answer all of your questions regarding your cat or dog’s oral health – our goal is for you to have all of the information you need to make treatment decisions for your pets.

Why does my dog’s breath smell bad & what can I do about it?

The truth is, a comprehensive (anesthetized…and this part is important) oral health assessment is vital to answering this question as the majority of the tooth, and associated dental disease which causes bad breath, lies below the gumline.

Do I need to treat my dog’s broken tooth?

Broken teeth are painful and can become a source of infection resulting in even more pain – so yes 😊 Treatment options include root canal or extraction of the tooth. Schedule your awake oral exam or phone consultation to discuss the pros & cons of these treatment options.

Why does my cat have red gums?

Periodontal disease (dental disease) and tooth resorption are painful oral diseases affecting cats and result in “red gums” also called gingivitis. Cats also suffer from a severe form of dental disease called stomatitis or feline chronic gingivostomatitis, which is a whole mouth oral disease involving most teeth in the mouth and surrounding oral tissues. The underlying cause of this syndrome is multifactorial and currently the first line of treatment is full mouth extractions. To determine the culprit for your cat’s red gums and what treatments are to be performed, a comprehensive, full mouth exam is needed.

Who can fix my pet’s broken jaw?

This all comes down to experience, comfort level and resources at hand. Often, broken jaws are referred to a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist™ for their expertise and knowledge of the treatments for these traumatic injuries. WSVDOS is equipped to treat and stabilize a fracture with various advanced techniques to help you, and your pet through this traumatic event.

Is there a treatment for my dog’s oral tumor?

Yes, & it starts with complete surgical removal of the tumor. Surgery (mandibulectomy/maxillectomy) to remove the tumor is commonly the mainstay of treatment. Once a diagnosis is made, a consultation with WSVDOS is scheduled to discuss surgical options, prognosis and life after diagnosis/treatment for your pet.
