What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed inside your pet’s mouth and jaw, usually by a trained veterinary dentist. Our team will inspect your pet’s teeth, gums, and jaw — then, we will thoroughly explain our findings to you, so we can come up with the best possible treatment plan together.
What We Treat:
- Broken Teeth
- Gum Disease
- Mouth Pain
- Inflammation in the Mouth
- Tooth Resorption (Loss of Tooth Structure From Within)
- Cavities
Why Does My Pet Need Oral Surgery?
There are many potential reasons why your pet might need oral surgery. They may require growth removal, reparation of oral or dental defects, or reparation of a jaw fracture.
Some oral tumors have no known cause. If oral tumors are detected early, surgical removal may be an option. Jaw fractures from trauma or disease also often require oral surgery to return the pet to a pain-free, happy life.
Is Oral Surgery Safe for My Pet?
Anesthesia is necessary for oral surgery. This allows us to treat your pet while they are immobilized and feeling no pain. Before anesthesia is delivered, laboratory tests are performed to determine the safest anesthetic protocol for your pet and the specific procedure. Your pet will be closely monitored during and after the procedure.
