Course Description

Learn why periodontal disease, crowded or retained teeth, and severe dental decay may make tooth extraction necessary for your dog or cat — what the procedure involves, how pain is managed, and why removing diseased teeth can improve your pet’s overall health and comfort.

Things to Learn

In this micro-video you’ll learn the common reasons teeth need extracting (such as retained baby teeth and severely diseased adult teeth), how veterinarians differentiate simple from complicated extractions, what pain relief and after-care look like, and the importance of follow-up care and good dental hygiene to help prevent future extractions.
