Dental Examination
Most pet patients seen in veterinary practice today actually need an annual thorough dental exam and cleaning from a veterinary dentistry specialist, which includes supragingival and subgingival cleaning, intraoral evaluation, polishing, and further periodontal therapy. A comprehensive pet dental cleaning at Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists involves the removal of plaque and calculus either with hand instruments or sonic/ultrasonic instruments above and below the gingival margin, periodontal probing, intra-oral radiographs, charting, and more involved treatment such as deep periodontal therapy or extractions if indicated.

X-rays
Digital dental x-rays – Dental radiographs allow us to get a full picture of your pet’s mouth and identify periodontal disease, fractured teeth, or oral cancer that is not visible without x-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving a comprehensive dental cleaning that can prevent future dental disease and save costs down the road

Root Canal Treatment
Broken or fractured teeth are a common finding in veterinary practices. Objects that are notorious for breaking teeth include cow hooves, real bones, rocks, ice, large knotted rawhides, and hard plastic/nyla-bones. The result is often the fracture of a tooth that may or may not extend into the pulp canal of the tooth. The pulp canal is the chamber within the tooth that houses the pulp tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. If the fracture exposes the pulp canal, the tooth will be acutely painful. However, most pets do not show obvious signs of tooth pain even when there is severe dental disease. These pets will typically chew on the other side of the mouth or avoid using the broken tooth until the nerve dies in a matter of weeks to months. Once the nerve dies, the open pulp canal is an area that food, saliva, debris, and bacteria enter the tooth resulting in an infection of the pulp tissue. The root of the tooth then becomes infected and will eventually abscess. The pain associated with the broken tooth changes from an acute pain to a chronic pain. Antibiotics will help control the infection temporarily, but the problem recurs after discontinuing the medication. The infection will persist until the source of the infection, the infected pulp, is removed either by extracting the tooth or by root canal therapy. We advise root canal treatment for most abscessed teeth.

Dental Implants
Eye problems are common in animals, but advances in treatment have enabled our pets to receive care similar to what we experience. At the Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center (SAVS), eye care includes slit lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmascopy, glaucoma testing and treatment, cataract evaluation, cataract surgery with implants, ocular ultrasound, Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) examinations, laser surgery, and electroretinography. Our veterinary ophthalmology specialists treat eye traumas as well as evaluate animals for blindness and visual impairment.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Most veterinarians perform general dental examinations, teeth cleaning, and extraction of diseased teeth. A veterinary dentist is a veterinarian that has completed additional training and board certification in dentistry. Since the veterinary dentist is trained in oral surgery, medicine, and dentistry, a wide range of special treatment options can be offered for dogs and cats with oral and dental problems. In some instances, a veterinary dentist can offer alternatives to tooth extraction not available at a general veterinary office.
