“The best doctor
in the world is a veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter
- he's got to just know.” -Will Rogers

Veterinary dentistry and all that this field involves, is still an
enigma to both vets and pet owners alike.
Domestic animals commonly suffer from dental and or gum disease,
but because it's not perceived as a "real" problem, many pets suffer at home with terrible tooth
ache.
Our aim is to ensure that all veterinary
staff and the general public are made aware that veterinary dentistry is real.
The ability to detect and treat early signs of dental problems does exist. With the
right training and information this can result in a far happier life not only for the animal, but also the owner
as well as the veterinarian.
Differences between a human and an animal?
The main difference between human and animal dentistry lies in the
fact that even the most minor procedure almost surely will require general anesthesia.
Furthermore, veterinary patients vary greatly in the shape, size
and how they use their teeth.
It is important that the vet understands each species' unique
differences before even attempting to treat them.
