Send us Fan Mail Regional nerve blocks are one of the most effective pain control tools in veterinary dentistry — but the technique is only half the story. Dr. Chris Snyder, President of the American Veterinary Dental College and Hospital Director at UW–Madison, joins Pawsitive Veterinary Dentistry to break down infraorbital and inferior alveolar nerve blocks, what his research on bupivacaine and buprenorphine revealed about analgesic duration, and how to lead a dental team that actually uses these tools consistently. Whether you're a GP without advanced imaging or a practice owner trying to build a stronger dental service, this episode covers the clinical technique and the team leadership that makes it stick.

Send us Fan Mail Cleft palate surgery in puppies and kittens is one of the most complex procedures in veterinary dentistry — and success depends on far more than the surgery itself. In this episode, Dr. Kendall Taney, DAVDC, Fellow OMFS, walks through real case examples covering the full journey of cleft palate repair in young patients. We cover how to prepare young, fragile patients — getting them healthy and large enough to safely undergo surgery — and how imaging, including cone beam CT and dental radiology, guides surgical planning. Dr. Taney also breaks down the surgical approach itself, along with post-operative care: pain management protocols and the anesthetized follow-up exam that confirms a successful repair. Whether you're a general practice veterinarian, vet tech, or dental team member, this episode gives you practical, real-world guidance on managing complex cleft palate cases in both puppies and kittens — from first exam to full recovery. Topics covered: early detection • patient preparation • anesthesia risk management • cone beam CT imaging • dental radiology • surgical timing • cleft palate repair technique • pain management • anesthetized follow-up exam Show Resources: https://www.kittencarelab.org/eepie-mouses-story https://www.kittencarelab.org/recipe-for-eepie-bites  https://www.facebook.com/groups/651982131915440/about/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/568900853174932/about/  https://avmajournals.avma.org/view/journals/javma/253/11/javma.253.11.1445.xml https://avmajournals.avma.org/view/journals/ajvr/78/8/ajvr.78.8.926.xml https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1532-950X.2014.12129.x Where to find Dr. Kendall Taney: Center for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery  9057 Gaither Road  Gaithersburg, MD 20877  (301) 990-9460 www.centerforveterinarydentistry.com Connect with us: Website: https://pawsitivedental.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pawsitivedental/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/pawsitivedental Facebook: @pawsitivedental TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pawsitive.dental Join our email list:  https://pawsitivedental.com/contact/ #VeterinaryDentistry #CleftPalate #VetSurgery #OMFS #DAVDC #VeterinaryMedicine #VetTech #SmallAnimalSurgery #ConeBeamCT #DentalRadiology #PainManagement #PuppyHealth #KittenHealth #AnimalSurgery https://www.youtube.com/@PawsitiveDentalEducation https://pawsitivedental.com/podcast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@pawsitive.dental https://www.instagram.com/pawsitivedental/ www.linkedin.com/in/pawsitivedental

Send us Fan Mail Chronic Feline Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is one of the most painful and frustrating oral diseases encountered in feline patients. Cats with FCGS often suffer from severe oral inflammation, difficulty eating, weight loss, and chronic pain — leaving veterinary teams and cat caregivers searching for answers. For many patients, full-mouth or near full-mouth extractions remain the gold standard treatment. But is surgery always the answer? And why do some cats continue to struggle even after extractions? In this episode of the Pawsitive Veterinary Dentistry Podcast, host Benita Altier, LVT, VTS (Dentistry) is joined by Dr. Maria Soltero Rivera to discuss the evolving science behind feline chronic gingivostomatitis and what current research reveals about this complex disease. Together they explore: • What FCGS actually is and why it develops • The immune-mediated nature of the disease • The possible role of chronic viral infection and the oral microbiome • Why full-mouth extractions are often recommended • What veterinary teams should expect after surgery • How to communicate extraction recommendations to cat owners • Treatment options for refractory cases • Emerging therapies including mesenchymal stromal cell therapy • The future of personalized treatment approaches for FCGS patients This episode provides practical clinical insight for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, students, and anyone involved in the care of feline dental patients. If you’ve ever struggled with an FCGS case — or helped guide a client through the difficult decision of full-mouth extractions — this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
