Just like when we go to the dentist, cats get dental x-rays as well! Dental x-rays are an important diagnostic tool that is not just for dentals, but for other medical issues too!
Dental x-rays can lead to developing a better treatment plan if there is an oral issue being experienced. Developmental deformities/issues, fractures, bone loss confirmation, and aiding in gauging dental disease.
Dental imaging is offered in practice, and a recommended addition to all dental cleanings to ensure we treat the level dental disease accordingly.
Personal testimony: Our technician Jana recently had a dental cleaning performed on one of her cats. If she did not do dental x-rays, it would have been missed that two of his teeth had issues and needed to be removed as what was able to be checked above the gum line appeared normal!
