This picture, although humorous, graphically illustrates the way dentistry used to be performed in human dentistry. Although old-time veterinary dental tools weren't much more sophisticated than that pair of pliers, at least the pets were under anesthesia!
Not much had changed in veterinary medicine dentistry until the early 1980's when progressive veterinarians began to use dental equipment and techniques used in human dentistry. Old fashioned tools and techniques are very crude in comparison. Result? Pets who have extractions performed by a skilled veterinarian using the new equipment are much less painful after surgery and heal much more rapidly.
Air-Powered Dental Cart
This piece of equipment packs all the tools that surround you in your dentist's chair into a mobile cart. It has a high-speed handpiece, polishing handpiece, air-water syringe and suction. This is the equipment we use to treat our patients' dental disease.
It simply is not possible to perform high-quality dental work without having this type of equipment. Without being able to do surgical extractions that this equipment makes possible, extractions are done in a crude manner. Teeth are levered out of the jaw bone. Teeth are often broken with the broken pieces left in. End result? Pets treated using the "old methods" often suffer needlessly.
We provide great pet health care in a professional, friendly, relaxed setting for pets
of Olean, Portville, Wellsville, Bradford, Cuba, Smethport and Coudersport.
