VetTome - Atraumatic Extraction Techniques

Why is the VetTome such a wonderful extraction tool?  

Extractions can be problematic, especially if the goal is to manage pain and reduce bone loss.  The VetTome is revolutionary for pet dentistry because it is operated using an electric foot pedal that moves a thin, flexible blade back and forth that will cut the periodontal ligament (the tissue holding the tooth). This unique blade’s flexibility allows it to follow the tooth’s root curve, making it especially effective for canine teeth. Unlike traditional methods, it doesn’t twist, which reduces tissue damage.  

The Vet-tome can be used on animals of all sizes—from cats to large dogs. In short, when our doctors use the Vet-tome to in your pet's procedure, it results in a quicker, less invasive way to extract teeth, saving both time and bone while minimizing trauma.
