What Do Cat and Dog Extractions Involve?
Procedures to remove a tooth for a dog or cat can vary depending on the specific condition. Prior to any extraction, we will provide a nerve block that will last for several hours to help minimize pain and discomfort. With surgical extractions, we normally make incisions in the adjacent gum tissue to provide access to the tooth. We sometimes need to remove bone as well.
The socket is flushed to remove any debris, and the extraction site is closed. In some cases, we can extract a tooth without an incision or bone removal. Any risk depends on the tooth involved. Dogs and cats do not experience “dry sockets,” and their recovery is typically quick and easy. Aside from some temporary discomfort and minor bleeding, most procedures have no complications, and our patients feel great.

How Will My Cat or Dog Do without Their Teeth?
Your pet will do fine! Many of our clients are concerned about their pet not being able to eat after a tooth (or teeth) has been extracted. Most likely, your pet was not using any painful teeth anyway! Even after surgery, most pets will eat without a problem, even the night of the procedure.
