Digital Dental Radiology was added to KAH's in house diagnostics arsenal 2 years ago. It has been a tremendous benefit to our doctors ability to diagnose and treat your pets dental needs.Digital dental radiographs (X-rays) of your pet’s teeth should be a regular step during all dental evaluations. Cats and dogs rarely show signs of pain associated with broken teeth, chipped teeth, exposed root canals, cavities and periodontal disease (inflammation of the gums). The staff at KAH feels that these tooth problems do cause pain for your pet. We also know that if these conditions go uncorrected they may lead to serious illness including heart disease and kidney failure. Digital dental X-rays are the best way to quickly and thoroughly screen your pet’s mouth for problems. Our new Schick CDR digital X-ray sensor is a state of the art piece of equipment and gives us impeccably detailed pictures of your pet’s teeth. When we detect a problem we will discuss with you the appropriate treatment options. Our goal in making this investment is to provide our staff with a tool that will help keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain free for years to come. |
