- Heart Disease TreatmentPeriodontal disease is a disease just like any other disease such as cancer, heart disease, pulmonary disease, kidney disease, etc. The effects on the body can be catastrophic and it will not go away without aggressive treatment. An explanation of the various stages of periodontal disease is listed below.
- Kidney Disease Treatment
- Periodontal Disease TreatmentWhen it comes to dental disease in pets, an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure! Dogs and cats have the same issues with their teeth that humans do. Plaque builds up very fast and spreads under the gums. Once this happens, the fire has been lit and the periodontal disease process has begun as well as the infection and pain that goes along with it. If you suddenly stopped brushing your own teeth, what would happen? What would your teeth look like after a year of neglect? How would your breath smell? Yuk!
- Wound and Fracture CareWhen the disease has caused irreparable damage to the tooth and its surrounding bone structures, removing the tooth is the best option. At this point, rotting tooth is like a giant festering splinter with all of the associated pain and infection. Extracting the tooth removes the source of the trouble and sets the stage for healing. Depending on the tooth involved, extraction may be quick and simple or a very complicated and difficult procedure. Loose teeth are not necessarily easier to deal with because in order for that tooth to be loose in the first place, the disease process had to progress to a critical state which will require treatment of the bone and surrounding soft tissues, all of which must be addressed. Teeth with more that one root must be delicately sectioned into pieces to facilitate removal without harming the bone or fracturing the tip of a root. In most cases, a ceramic bone graft material called consil bioglass, will be placed into the open root sockets. This amazing material actually causes bone to grow and fill in the socket. consil is a human synthetic bone graft material that is used in fracture repair in people. Proper root socket treatment is critical. The sutures used to close a treated root socket dissolve over time and do not need to be removed. We will occasionally prescribe antibiotics to control the infection.
- Dental SurgeryInterventional dentistry and oral surgery can be very expensive. Dental infection and disease can be prevented or slowed way down by providing regular care at home. Brushing your pets teeth once a day will do wonders in keeping the dentist away! After a while, it just becomes a daily routine that requires little thought and little time.

- Laboratory ServicesWe offer three levels of in-house blood testing before surgery, which we will go over with you when you bring your pet in. Our doctors prefer the more comprehensive screen, because it gives them the most information to ensure the safety of your pet. For geriatric or ill pets, additional blood tests, electrocardiograms, or x-rays may be required before surgery as well.
- X-Ray

Doing this allows us to focus our expertise on only two species instead of many. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories.
