As with human teeth, we cannot see the whole tooth. When we take dental radiographs, we are assessing the entire tooth including the root(s) and surrounding structures below the gum line. In order to do this safely and efficiently, each patient must be intubated and under general anesthesia. We recommend full mouth intraoral dental radiographs at least once a year for all pets. If there has been treatment of more advanced dental disease, we will recommend more frequent evaluations. At the Animal Dental Clinic we utilize the latest digital x-ray equipment on the market, which allows us to be more efficient and use less radiation. Dr. Hall reviews all of the radiographs as part of the process to come up with a treatment plan for your pet. A copy of the images are sent home with you and also to your veterinarian.
