Abstract
Background: Dental disease is still one of the most common reasons rabbits are presented to veterinary practices. Successful treatment of these challenging cases is possible in general practice, and an understanding of the dynamic function of the rabbit mouth is a good foundation for this. By employing transferable skills, the diagnosis and treatment of acquired dental disease in rabbits can be to the same standards as for other companion animals.
Aim of the article: This article details the process of dealing with dental disease from history through diagnostics to physical intervention and aftercare, highlighting accessible options at all stages in these patients.
