A condition that occurs when a dog’s lower canines misalign and strike the soft tissue of the upper jaw, causing chronic pain and potentially severe oral damage.

When a dog’s baby teeth fail to fall out, it can cause improper alignment of adult teeth, increasing the risk of malocclusion and gum disease.

This surgical procedure involves removing a pet’s lower canine teeth, typically to address issues like malocclusion, fractured teeth or advanced periodontal disease.

Encouraging play with a firm, appropriately sized ball to apply pressure on developing teeth, potentially correcting misaligned canines and preventing future issues.

Fractured, persistent or misaligned baby teeth in puppies and kittens may require extraction to ensure comfort, prevent abscesses and avoid long-term dental issues during development.

This condition occurs when a tooth in the upper jaw damages the tissue near a lower molar, causing discomfort and potential periodontal disease, often requiring reshaping or extraction.

This procedure involves reshaping gum tissue to guide the eruption of canine teeth into a correct position, preventing traumatic occlusion and avoiding more invasive treatments.

Reducing the height of misaligned canine teeth and protecting the exposed pulp with a filling helps prevent chronic pain, preserve jaw structure and avoid extraction.

Orthodontic appliances like inclined planes or crown extensions can reposition misaligned canine teeth, preventing trauma and preserving tooth function without altering their shape.
