EP 251: Epulis in Pets – Oral Tumors, Diagnosis & Surgical Management | Pet Care Partners Podcast

Epulis is a common oral tumor in pets—especially dogs—that often presents as a firm gingival mass. While typically benign, certain types like acanthomatous epulis can be locally invasive and require surgical intervention. In Episode 251 of the Pet Care Partners Podcast, we dive into the clinical approach to diagnosing and managing epulides in veterinary patients. 🎙️ In this episode, we cover: Types of epulis: fibromatous, ossifying, and acanthomatous Clinical presentation: gingival swelling, oral bleeding, halitosis, and difficulty eating Diagnostic workup: oral exam, dental radiographs, biopsy, histopathology Treatment options: local excision, gingivectomy, mandibulectomy, and radiation for aggressive cases Prognosis, recurrence rates, and client education Essential content for NAVLE prep, dentistry-focused veterinarians, and general practitioners managing oral masses. 🔔 Subscribe to Pet Care Partners for weekly expert-led episodes exploring veterinary diagnostics, surgery, internal medicine, and clinical reasoning. 📌 Watch now to improve your confidence in evaluating and treating oral tumors like epulis in dogs and cats. #Epulis #OralTumorsInPets #PetOralHealth #VeterinaryDentistry #VeterinaryPodcast #PetCarePartners #NAVLEprep #VeterinaryStudents #VetLife #VeterinaryMedicine #VetDentistry #GingivalMassPets #DogOralTumors #CatOralMass #AcanthomatousEpulis #OralSurgeryPets #VeterinarianPodcast #VetTraining #VetEducation #VetPodcastEpisodes #VetDiagnostics #OralTumorBiopsy #VeterinaryOralSurgery #SmallAnimalDentistry #PetHealth #VeterinaryCommunity #VeterinaryOncology #VetOralExam #VetSchool #DogDentalCare #ClinicalVeterinaryTips
