Roughly sixty percent of every tooth sits below the gumline, hidden from view during even the most careful oral exam. Digital dental radiography lets our veterinarians see that hidden portion — the roots, the surrounding bone and the ligament that holds each tooth in place — so painful problems are found and treated before they become emergencies.
We take dental X-rays right here in our own hospital as part of every professional dental cleaning, using digital sensors that produce an image in seconds. Your pet is under anesthesia for a shorter time, and your veterinarian can show you exactly what they found on screen before any treatment decision is made.
