Toby’s Dental Transformation!🦷✨
Lovely Toby came in to see Dr Hiren for a dental procedure, including full dental X-rays, after we found signs of tooth resorption.
But what is tooth resorption?
Tooth resorption is a painful condition that’s particularly common in cats, where the body starts to break down and destroy the tooth itself. Unfortunately, these lesions can often be hidden below the gumline, which is why dental X-rays are so important — they allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface and assess the roots of the teeth.
Toby’s X-rays revealed areas of tooth resorption, so the affected teeth were carefully treated and removed where necessary.
Swipe through to see Toby’s before and after photos, along with his dental X-rays, and see the difference for yourself!
A big well done to Toby for being such a brave patient! 🐾🦷
