August 17, 2011
Seaforth Veterinary Hospital has invested in a digital dental x ray unit, as distinct from out digital x ray unit for general x rays which has been operative for the last 3-4 years now.
We can offer state of the art dental treatment and perform oral x rays when required. It allows us to search for old hidden, broken retained roots that may be causing a problem, assess the viability of broken teeth and even look for any evidence of oral cancer.
