We had a dental specialist come in to perform a root canal on our patient, Amy, today! Amy had broken a canine tooth and rather than extract, the owners opted to have a root canal procedure done to save the tooth. Advances in veterinary dentistry has made it possible to save pets teeth through modern practices like this! Root canals are necessary when a pets tooth fractures, exposing the pulp tissue and allowing bacteria to reach the root of the tooth. These fractures can be related to age, poor dental care or from chewing on hard objects like rocks. You can read more about root canal therapy here- avdc.org/rootcanaltreatment.html
