This 9-year-old Male, neutered Cairnhill Terrier has dental disease one year after dental scaling around 1 year ago. This time, gum tumours called epulis are seen in the front upper gum and another one inside. As the dog bites, he needs to be under anaesthesia to check out the other epulis.

Yearly dental check up from 3 years of age is advised to prevent loss of teeth due to gum disease exposing the roots of the cheek teeth, as in this case.
