According to Jim Merritt, Marketing Manager, Pfizer, "Less than 10 percent of small animal veterinarians across the country are equipped to take dental X-rays."

          Intraoral radiographs may be taken for abnormal dental conditions. A few examples are:
            •  Missing or fractured teeth 
            •  Periodontal pockets greater than 3mm in the dog and 1mm in the cat. 
            •  A tooth that is discolored 
            •  Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL) are present  
            •  Periodontal disease is present

Redmond Veterinary Clinic believes so strongly in the benefits of intraoral radiogdraphs that we added a new state-of-the-art digital radiography system (digital x-rays) in 2006 for your pet. High definition intraoral digital radiographs provide exceptionally clear pictures for better diagnosis and use approximately 90% less than the usual dosage of radiation. Additionally, intraoral digital radiographs require less time to produce quality films, thus decreasing the time that your pet is under anesthesia.
