«Dogs and cats need routine dental care, including
full -
mouth X-rays, to reveal hidden problems,» says Dr. Larry Dee, a small
animal veterinarian in Hollywood, Flordia.
Many
animal patients referred for a routine teeth cleaning procedure have additional oral problems, and
full -
mouth radiographs allow your veterinarian to view the internal anatomy of the teeth, the teeth roots, and the bone that surrounds the roots.

When presented with an aggressive
animal case where other corrective measures have failed (including but not limited to behavior modification) the veterinarian at his / her discretion may recommend
full mouth extraction, crown reduction (to the gingival margin) or euthanasia.
This can be accomplished only with ferrets under
full general anesthesia, so that the
animal is not in pain and that the back of the
mouth can be accessed by the veterinarian without the risk of being bitten.
