What Causes Sudden Facial Swelling or Mouth Tumors in Dogs?

A sudden bulge beneath your dog's eye, a swollen jaw, or a lump inside their mouth can point to tooth root pathology, potential abscesses, a deep oral cyst, or an oral mass. Because much of a pet's jaw structure is hidden from the naked eye, general exams often miss the root cause. Utilizing high-resolution Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 3D imaging, can help our board-certified veterinary dentist  quickly and accurately diagnose hidden bone lesions and perform precise oncologic or reconstructive oral surgeries to give your dog the best possible outcome.
