Prompt management of many traumatic or infective conditions in small animals can allow
the teeth to be retained rather than extracted. The purpose of this handbook is to cover
oral conditions that require prompt treatment. It is written primarily for the general
practitioner and provides some information on pathology to help in judging whether the
treatment should be of a temporary nature to buy time while referring the patient to a
specialist. Simple traumatic techniques for jaw fracture repair are also described. The
book is appropriate for all veterinarians and veterinary students.
