Toothache diagnosis and treatment by the veterinarian
The treatment of dental problems, injuries and diseases in dogs is now carried out at a very high level. Similar to human medicine, the most modern diagnostic procedures and therapy methods are used in veterinary medicine. In today's blog post, we explain which diagnostic options and associated therapy options are available in the field of animal dentistry.
Prophylaxis, diagnosis and therapy in the field of animal dentistry
Basically, prophylaxis should start from puppyhood , i.e. from the very beginning . You and your four-legged friend should visit the vet regularly from early puppyhood. Regular dental check-ups in early puppyhood This means that any tooth misalignments can not only be detected at an early stage, but can also be corrected without complications.
The treatment of misalignments can be done with a bracket, similar to braces in humans. Injuries to milk teeth, which are not uncommon in early puppyhood, should also be treated professionally without much delay. Damage to milk teeth in particular often appears harmless at first glance. However, if left untreated, it can lead to permanent damage, even massive consequential damage to the teeth.
Preserving teeth through fillings is no longer a rarity in dogs. Extracting teeth that are not worth preserving is also part of the daily routine of veterinary dentists. Dental restoration is also a very current topic in the field of animal dentistry. Festering teeth and the associated bacterial colonies in the mouth can spread into the body and lead to serious secondary diseases. If festering is detected, systemic antibiotics are often used as treatment. Anti-inflammatory and painkillers are also used effectively for festering teeth.
The removal of tartar is also part of prophylaxis, because tartar is ideally removed before it can cause damage.
Surgical therapy methods under anesthesia
Dental operations on dogs are always performed under anesthesia. For older dogs and dogs that suffer from other illnesses or are otherwise weakened, any anesthesia represents an enormous physical strain. In these cases, the benefits must be weighed against the risks. What are the consequences of an untreated dental problem or anesthesia for the existing illnesses ?
To avoid this difficult decision, you should ensure that your dog's teeth are cared for regularly from the beginning. Dental care and oral hygiene in dogs can be taught.
Prophylaxis against tartar and co.
The best way to prevent tartar is to have good mouth care and hygiene from the very beginning . Therefore, practice brushing your dog's teeth when he is still a puppy.
