Picture
Severe gingivitis and stomatitis in a cat causing bleeding gums and pain. This cat was chubby and still eating well.
Picture
"Slab fracture" of upper 4th premolar in a dog. The red dot is the open root canal (pulp chamber).
Picture
Pink area on canine tooth is exposed dentin. This is caused by a painful condition called tooth resorption.
Picture
Sutured gingiva after extraction of a teeth.
Picture
Nope, can't see this mass without anesthesia. Luckily, caught in time and removal was curative.
Picture
yeah, remember that time we replaced Dr. Dennis' masks with these... :)
Picture
Dr. Dennis and Dr. Capraro spend extra time every year doing advanced training in oral health and dental procedures. (The lady in the costume is for a fundraiser to dental care for zoo animals!)
Picture
Fractured lower 1st molar in a cat.
Picture
Gum recession due to combined periodontal disease and tooth resorption.
Picture
The gums are so swollen from periodontal disease they have almost covered the teeth.
general SNVH dental info
Picture
Fractured canine tooth with jaw bone remodeling (bone expansion).
Picture
The lower left canine tooth crown looks great, but the swelling of the gun below it is actually expansion and remodeling of the jaw bone due to infection.
Picture
Mass next to a fractured upper 4th premolar. We cannot know if this mass is benign or malignant until we biopsy it.
Picture
Another finding during an anesthetized exam. This is a painful enamel erosion (right to the pulp!)
Picture
Picture
Dr. Dennis was selected to co-author the 2019 American Animal Hospital Association Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats.

Picture
Pre-op. This patient was still eating normally.
Picture
1 week post-op. There is still some irritation from the sutures, but the back of the mouth already has improved.
Picture
2 weeks post-op. She was back to eating dry food (her choice) and stopping pulling her hair out (an atypical response to the chronic pain).
This patient had caudal oral stomatitis.  When unresponsive to medical treatment, the condition generally resolves with removal of all the teeth.  In her case, she had a prior "dental" at an unknown place and numerous tooth roots were left behind.
