There have been links between oral dental disease and general health. Veterinary colleges are beginning to incorporate veterinary dentistry into the core curricula. Education is fundamental to understanding and development of skills and eventual offering of valuable dental services. Dr. Kressin is committed to continuing education in general and even greater efforts on improvement of general and oral surgical skills. Oral and dental disease is an extremely common finding in our pets.
Some cases are obvious while others are more subtle.
Dr. Kressin would appreciate the opportunity to explain what gingivitis and periodontal disease are, why they occur, and what you can do about it.
