Veterinary Dentistry

The area of dentistry that is used to treat animals is known as veterinary dentistry. In relation to animals, it is the art and science of preventing, diagnosing, and treating illnesses, diseases, and abnormalities of the mouth, the maxillo-facial region, and its auxiliary structures. Even when the animal's mouth is the main complaint, it is crucial to evaluate the entire animal. Some dental conditions may have systemic problems, whereas others may be the outcome of a systemic condition. In order to reduce risks and potential complications during dental procedures, it is crucial to determine the patient's cardiovascular and respiratory status as well as their canine and feline physiological values.
