Thank you for your contact I want to point out first that I have never met or talked to the writer of the letter that I am responding to
A consultation by veterinary dentist involves evaluation of the entire oral cavity which takes place in real time and is not able
to be completed over the phone The writer states that they were concerned about "tooth that was coming in crooked" On evaluation of the oral cavity the right side of the mandible was longer than the left causing the right mandibular third incisor to protrude in front of the maxillary incisors The left side of the mandible was slightly shorter than normal This is a skeletal defect and can be passed on genetically The writer was incorrect in the statement of what was actually occurring in the oral cavity The writer is correct that I will not be an accomplice to fraud and a party in creating deception to an AKC judge showing that their dog is clearly in perfect condition by orthodontically correcting a malocclusion for an intact show dog
Every dog is entitled to a comfortable and functional occlusion I do not discriminate from offering consultations or working on unaltered animals as I do have a fair amount of professional dogs that I provide advanced dental services for However, the professional dental care that I perform is to offer a functional and comfortable bite I have made the ethical choice not to orthodontically correct malocclusions on show dogs to deceive a judge In this particular pet I am pleased that he has a comfortable bite and can lead a life without correction
