Monitoring Oral Pain With Dental Disease in Pets

Oral, dental, and maxillofacial pathology is the most common problem in veterinary dentistry. As a matter of fact, recent studies suggest that up to 90% of patients have periodontal disease.1 In addition, 10% of dogs have fractured teeth with pulp exposure, and approximately 40% of cats have tooth resorption. Taken together, these statistics represent the fact that almost every patient has some form of oral and/or dental disease.
