Dr. Donnell Hansen, veterinary dentist, sits down with Dr. Andy Roark to advise on the case of a 12 year old yorkie with mild kidney disease who may or may not need multiple extractions. Chanel has approximately 30% horizontal bone loss across the maxillary premolars, and the teeth feel stable on palpation. What do we do? Do we pull them? Or do we leave them? How do we decide?

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Dr. Donnell Hansen, a Minnesota native, and a small group of friends joined together to form the Moxie Center (which was the first hospital to be now known as BluePearl) in Minnesota’s twin cities of Minneapolis/Saint Paul. Although her daily life is spent in specialty care, in 2011, her and her husband, also a veterinarian, opened Rice Creek Animal Hospital which provides a little balance and perspective about life in family practice. In 2019, Donnell developed Four Legged Tooth Fairy, an interactive small group conference center for the veterinary community to enhance their patient health, practice health, and mental health through veterinary dentistry. Dr. Hansen’s special interest in maxillofacial surgery, however the truth is, she loves the whole darn gig… especially when she gets to share the fun of veterinary dentistry with others!
