Digital Dental Radiography

Digital Dental Radiography Gets to the Root of Your Pet's Dental Health

Part of your pet's regular care should include dental appointments to ensure your pet's teeth and jaws are in great shape. One of the procedures that the veterinarian has to do is called digital dental radiography, which sounds a lot fancier than it is -- but this relatively simple procedure is key to keeping your pet's teeth healthy. At TLC Animal Hospital in El Paso, your pet will receive good care and timely diagnoses, along with appropriate treatment.

All About Veterinary Radiography

Digital dental radiography is essentially a digital x-ray of your pet's teeth and jaws. As with human dental x-rays, the procedure is painless and fast. However, unlike human dental x-rays, veterinary radiography requires the pet to be sedated.

Your pet will undergo digital dental radiography when it's undergoing its regular dental exam. This means you need to be prepared for some pre-appointment testing to ensure the pet can safely be sedated. Another time when you might have your pet's teeth x-rayed is if there has been some trauma or the pet is experiencing problems eating or shows signs of pain.

Digital dental radiography for pets can address general dental health; tooth impactions; fractures, and abscesses; impacted or retained teeth that have not erupted as expected; lesions and decay; and tumors or other surprises. Because the procedure requires sedation and pre-sedation testing, radiography isn't done on a whim. However, do not be afraid to ask if it would be helpful if your pet appears to have problems with its teeth.

Don't Let Your Pet Suffer
