Host: Dr. Brett Beckman, DVM, DAVDC, FAVD

In this episode, Dr. Beckman tackles common challenges in veterinary dentistry, including difficult extractions in small dogs and the dangers of at-home dental cleaning devices. Learn practical techniques and essential knowledge to provide the best possible dental care for your patients.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to approach fractured coronal roots in small dogs (310/410).
✅ A flapless extraction technique for mandibular first molars.
✅ Tips for extracting fractured incisors in cats using minimal equipment.
✅ How to differentiate between bone and root in cases of ankylosis.
✅ The dangers of battery-powered ultrasonic teeth cleaning devices.
✅ Why proper subgingival curettage and root planing are crucial for preventing periodontal disease.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Patience is key when extracting difficult teeth; slow, continuous pressure with a luxator can prevent fractures.
✅ Using an 18-gauge needle as a mini-luxator can simplify incisor extractions in cats.
✅ UV penlights may help differentiate between tooth root and bone in ankylosis cases.
✅ At-home ultrasonic dental devices can cause more harm than good due to lack of polishing and potential for tissue damage.
✅ Cleaning alone is insufficient; subgingival curettage and root planing are essential for treating periodontal disease.
✅ Proper training and equipment are crucial for providing effective dental care in general practice.
