Called and found out he did indeed get the subgingival. That's what I figured.
I inquired about the xrays and was told they don't have xray machines for dental xrays but they have digital regular xrays, but should be getting the dental xray machine in about a year. You were right as I expected. Thanks for that.
I don't know if I mentioned this before but my dogs globulin was a slightly elevated. I was told it's probably because of the inflammation and dental disease. I was thinking of getting him retested in about 8 weeks does that sound good?
I just read that there are two types of cleanings. One to make them look 'pretty' and a subgingival. I hope he got the subgingival one.
not more teeth, but less teeth that have infection remain.
ie without xrays he likely has painful infections that remain. I hope to save teeth, but usually they need to be lost by the time it's severe - trying to save teeth keeps infection in the mouth.
Thanks so much. Do you feel that without xrays he was subjected to having more teeth pulled? I hope non could have been saved etc.
Thanks so much again for your expert opinion
Give it 2-8 wks for the gums that have had changes to heal, then put him under again just for xrays, as it will likely be for xrays and further treatment, but best medicine with the healthiest the mouth can be - ie after healing before any problem that was missed has worsened....
Thanks for your responses they are very informative. Do you think waiting until the next dental would be to long to go without xrays? I'll obviously take him to the specialist at this point for them. I wanted xrays to begin with in order to know everything going on and it's frustrating to know all of this.
Do you think it's a bad idea to put him under again just for x-rays? If not how long do you feel I should wait?
Thank You
