DENTAL FACTS
• Periodontal disease is the most prevalent
disease among dogs and cats.
• An astounding 80 percent of dogs and cats show signs of
oral disease by
age three, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS).
• Periodontal disease is common in dogs of smaller breeds
because dogs’
teeth often are too large for their mouths, forcing the teeth closer
together.
• Dogs start out with 28 deciduous (baby) teeth; cats start
out with 26
deciduous teeth. By six months of age, these baby teeth fall out
and are
replaced by permanent teeth, 42 in the dog and 30 in the cat.
• Broken teeth are a common problem for dogs, especially among
outdoor
dogs. According to veterinary dental experts, aggressive chewing
on hard
objects is a primary cause of broken teeth in dogs.
• Odontoclastic resorptive lesions are the most common tooth
disease in
domestic cats. Studies show that about 28 percent of domestic cats
develop
at least one of these painful lesions during their lifetime.
Southwest
Veterinary Hospital is proud to have the Dentalaire Ultimate Dental
Machine to ultrasonically scale and polish your pets’ teeth.
Inspecting teeth and gum health at least once a year is recommended.

Dr.
Erin Rasmusson has a special interest in abdominal ultrasound
and has attended many specialized continuing education training
classes and clinics. Ultrasound is a diagnostic tool that allows
interpretation of all of the abdominal organs without anesthesia
or surgery. Pregnancy is also easily diagnosed 25-30 days after
breeding. Again because these images are digital, they are easily
shared via the internet, email or CD-ROM with owners and radiologists. |
