The Central Texas area is very blessed to have Dr. Steven Capron practicing in Austin!
I practiced dental hygiene for over 30 years and so I am very picky about my cats' teeth cleanings. I have never had their teeth cleaned so thoroughly, professionally and compassionately. Dr. Capron did a thorough oral exam, including full-mouth X-rays which are necessary to identify any tooth abscesses or bone loss from periodontal disease. His technique, tools and equipment are state of the art, much like the ones my dentist uses.
Since oral disease is the #2 health issue for our 4-legged family members, it is imperative to have as much concern about their teeth and gums as you do about yours! Dogs, and cats particularly, often don't show pain from oral disease but if you can smell or see a problem in your pet's mouth, please consider contacting Dr. Capron's office for a consultation/evaluation ASAP. However, your pet could have a serious problem without an offensive odor or visible indication. It is always easier and less expensive to identify and treat a problem earlier than later. The longer you wait to treat oral disease, the less options you have and the more expensive it will be to eradicate it--for you or your pets. I have never heard anyone say "I am glad I waited to seek treatment" but I have heard a lot of people say "I sure wished I had gone to the dentist earlier--I sure would have saved a lot of money because I would have had more options".
I know you will be glad you had your pet checked out and treated by Dr. Capron! He is nothing short of AWESOME!! He even called me twice after my cats had their teeth cleaned and went home--just to check on them and make sure they were comfortable and happy. read more
