When people hear that Dr. Moore is a “doggie dentist,” they immediately say things like: “What? Does he put braces on dogs, too?”
The answer is . . . yes. Yes, he does.
Orthodontia in pets is normally not for aesthetic purposes, but because of health concerns. This is Wesley and he needed tooth alignment because he could not close his mouth completely, otherwise.
The good news is, the correction he needed will be brief, perhaps only a few weeks.
Also, it obviously doesn’t bother him one little bit (if you look at the “after” photo). He’s a happy little guy.
Dr. Moore also does Endodontics (root canals, often necessary because of pain) and oral surgery (things like fractured jaws).
February is National Pet Dental Health month, so we thought this was a good time to let you know about the importance of your best buddy’s dental health.
