This volume of the Pet Owner Educational Atlas series covers the most frequent oral and dental pathologies seen in small animal practice.

This book allows veterinarians to explain the importance of early diagnosis to owners, as well as details of their pet’s condition, its possible consequences, and the different treatment options available, among other relevant issues.
