Re-occuring dental problems despite repeated treatment:
Although they don’t use words, pets tell us many things. Re-occurring dental problems despite repeated treatment is a way pets say “I need a dental check-up mom and
dad.”
If a dental problem is treated and symptoms resolve for a while…only to re-occur again, then a pet’s quality of life can greatly benefit from finding the underlying cause of the
problem.
Why? Because, once the underlying cause of the problem is diagnosed, a treatment plan can be designed to optimize a pet’s quality of life. Some of the more common underlying diseases having re-occurring problems despite repeated treatment are:
- Bone infection around the tooth roots
- Abscessing teeth
- Abscessing tooth roots of fractured or worn teeth
- Tonsillitis or throat infection
- Oro-nasal fistulas (tunnels communicating between the mouth and nose)
- Tumors of the mouth, jaw, nose, or face
- Mal-occlused teeth
- Autoimmune or Immune-deficiency diseases
- Many others
Oftentimes pet families will be frustrated and fatigued when their loving pet experiences re-occurring symptoms of dental disease. If the symptoms keep re-occurring after
conservative care many frustrated families will try to tolerate a pet’s symptoms and become heartbroken as the pet’s quality of life diminishes. Meanwhile the underlying disease condition progresses
undetected and untreated. As things worsen the problem becomes unbearable and can interfere with the family-pet relationship.
Pets with re-occurring symptoms of dental disease can become silently sick if infection from the mouth spreads to vital organs like the heart, liver, kidney, urinary tract, or digestive tract.
