Jaw Fractures in Pets

Jaw fractures are most commonly caused by facial trauma or advanced periodontal disease, which weakens the jawbone. These fractures are painful and can affect your pet’s ability to eat, play, or even close their mouth properly.

At East Tennessee Veterinary Dentistry, we use innovative approaches to repair jaw fractures, including but not limited to:

Interdental wiring and composite splinting
Intraosseous wiring
Maxillomandibular fixation
Modified labial button technique
