The spectrum of patients requiring dental and oral surgery is wide and whilst most anaesthetic protocols may not vary much, special considerations should be made for this group of patients. Detection and treatment of pain can be challenging in this patient group as dental/oral examination may be limited in the conscious animal. It is only intra-operatively that a full assessment can be made and the degree of pathology, as well as treatment necessary and analgesia requirements can be fully established. Excellent pain management is essential to ensure good postoperative rehabilitation, especially to ensure optimal nutrition following dental or oral surgery.
