This presentation covers the importance of performing anesthetic dental procedures in patients with underlying conditions. Veterinary patients frequently present with periodontal or endodontic disease, oral masses, or other dental conditions while having one or more medical conditions. Since dentistry in veterinary patients requires anesthesia, the veterinary clinician must perform an assessment on the risk versus benefit. Understanding the benefits of treatment of common dental conditions and discussing potential risks associated with anesthesia in high-risk patients may help.
