DENTALS AT CHEW

Dental X-rays are essential for detecting hidden issues like fractures, infections, and bone loss that aren’t visible during exams. They help assess tooth roots, identify impacted teeth, track periodontal disease. Since most dental problems occur below the gumline, X-rays are crucial for a complete diagnosis and proper care.

A gingival flap is a technique used during some deep rooted extractions or oronasal fistula. The gum tissue is lifted (flapped back) to expose the tooth roots and bone, allowing for better access to remove infection, tartar, or diseased tissue. After treatment, the flap is sutured back in place for proper healing. This procedure helps preserve oral health and prevent further dental issues. 

Clindoral Gel is an antibiotic gel used to treat gum disease. It contains clindamycin, to fight bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support healing. Applied directly to gum pockets, it aids in controlling infections and improving oral health.

Bloodwork before surgery is essential to check your pet’s overall health and ensure they can safely undergo anesthesia. It helps detect hidden issues like kidney or liver disease, infections, or clotting problems that could increase surgical risks. By identifying any concerns early, your vet can adjust the anesthesia plan or treatment to keep your pet as safe as possible.
