Dental emergencies in cats and dogs, on the other hand, are among the most overlooked causes of emergency. The teeth of our furry friends can break, become infected, and shatter their jaws. Knowing what defines an emergency and understanding what we can do and what support you can provide your pet are advantageous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a dental emergency?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dental emergency includes the mouth, head, or neck areas that require punctual treatment to halt blood loss, soothe severe discomfort, or save a tooth. This also applies to potentially deadly diseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are samples of cases demanding <\/span><strong><a href='https:\/\/www.veterinarymedicalcenterca.com\/site\/veterinary-services-sacramento\/emergency-vet'>pet urgent care<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from an emergency pet hospital (but are not confined to):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe or traumatic head trauma injuries include lip and tongue lacerations and oral hemorrhage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avulsions and luxations of the teeth (true dental emergencies; place the avulsed tooth in milk until referral to the vet dentist or oral surgeon).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflammation\/infection causes swelling around the nose, mouth, jaws, face, and neck.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acute palate deformities, jaw fractures, and temporomandibular joint luxations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe difficulty opening or closing the mouth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Avoid Common Dental Emergencies<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your dog on a softer chew toy to help avoid tooth fractures. Keep your kitty cat inside your home to keep them safe from biting and chewing hazards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always put them on a leash and monitor their interactions with other pets and animals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following any tooth or jaw injury, a visit to the vet might help you prevent most infections and save you money in the long run.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having your pet&#8217;s teeth examined and cleaned regularly is another method to help avert a dental emergency.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When should you schedule professional cleaning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A veterinary dental care professional should do a yearly checkup on your pet to document the presence of abnormal diseases such as periodontal disease, cracked or rotted teeth, tumors, ulcers, and so on. Professional dental cleanings necessitate anesthesia for your pet to ensure that the competent and qualified operator can remove dirt from underneath the gum line (subgingivally).

The dentist from reputable <\/span><strong><a href='https:\/\/www.veterinarymedicalcenterca.com\/site\/home'>veterinary care and service<\/a> <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must place the pet under general anesthesia to do a thorough periodontal examination, dental radiography, scaling and polishing, gingival curettage, and root planing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An endotracheal tube supplies anesthetic gas and oxygen, providing pain-free therapies while securing the airways from aspirating fluids or debris. Anesthesia-free dentistry is not recommended for various reasons, including significant patient and operator safety issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Expect in an Emergency Room<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A veterinarian will evaluate the extent of your pet&#8217;s concern to establish the order in which patients should go first. The most life-threatening issues are addressed first, followed by less severe cases. Before meeting the vet, a nurse may take your dog or cat&#8217;s history and check vital signs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ER&#8217;s primary priority is to stabilize your pet, so your pet may need to be admitted to the emergency pet clinic or transferred to your regular veterinarian. Your pet might be referred to a veterinary professional for a more thorough assessment or operation. Ask about any home care or rechecks if your pet can return home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pet Dental Emergencies Explained Difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, a nasty fall, or being hit by a vehicle come to mind when pet owners think of a veterinary emergency.
