VIRAL: 'Doggie dentist' shares photos to promote pet dental health

Dr Jim Moore is the owner of Harborfront Hospital for Animals and Veterinary Dental Solutions in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he is known as a “doggie dentist” for attending to canine orthodontia, often in the form of root canals, oral surgery, and administering braces to dogs.

A February 26 post on the Harborfront Hospital’s Facebook page shows a smiling dog named Wesley that was recently fitted with braces.

The accompanying post told how dog orthodontia is not intended for cosmetic purposes, but rather for health concerns. In Wesley’s case, he had trouble fully closing his mouth, which the braces will fix.

The post concluded, “February is National Pet Dental Health month, so we thought this was a good time to let you know about the importance of your best buddy’s dental health.”
