Pet Canine and Feline Oral Disease in the Greater Houston Area
We offer evaluation of gingivostomatitis, Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions, oral autoimmune disorders, diagnostic biopsy and histopathological diagnosis of oral masses/tumors.
Complicated oral diseases in dogs and cats such as oral tumors, immune disorders and gingivostomatitis require more advanced diagnostic procedures including but not limited to radiographs, biopsy and histopathological evaluation. The 3 most commonly encountered malignant oral tumors in dogs are malignant melanoma (30-40%), squamous cell carcinoma (20-30%), and fibrosarcoma (10-20%). The most common malignant tumor in the cat is squamous cell carcinoma.
Benign masses include gingival hyperplasia, epulides, dentigerous cysts, and gingival or facial swelling caused by abscessed tooth roots.
