00:06.040 --> 00:07.929
well . We were doing some regular

00:07.929 --> 00:10.480
training bite work and my dog Roy

00:10.480 --> 00:12.647
snapped one of his canine teeth on the

00:12.647 --> 00:14.869
bite suit and we had to come here since

00:14.869 --> 00:18.420
our base doesn't have a vet key

00:18.420 --> 00:20.642
pieces that we're concerned about . Our

00:20.642 --> 00:23.280
anesthesia . Obviously we can't just do

00:23.280 --> 00:25.580
that procedure with a dog awake or even

00:25.580 --> 00:28.060
slightly sedated because of the risk .

00:28.440 --> 00:30.662
It's always nerve wracking watching him

00:30.662 --> 00:32.662
go down like that . He's usually so

00:32.662 --> 00:34.773
full of energy and jumping and moving

00:34.773 --> 00:37.107
around and wanting to play all the time .

00:37.107 --> 00:39.218
So when he's just limp and not moving

00:39.218 --> 00:40.996
takes those long pauses between

00:40.996 --> 00:43.329
breathing , chest takes forever to rise .

00:43.329 --> 00:45.440
You know , you kind of stop breathing

00:45.440 --> 00:47.662
when he does . That's something that we

00:47.662 --> 00:49.440
look forward both in our canine

00:49.440 --> 00:51.607
patients and also in our human patient

00:51.607 --> 00:54.610
as far as respiratory capability in the

00:54.610 --> 00:57.090
states . I would have the proper

00:57.090 --> 00:59.690
equipment to perform a root canal and

00:59.690 --> 01:02.480
to perform dental radiographs on Roy

01:02.490 --> 01:04.323
here . I did not have the proper

01:04.323 --> 01:06.101
facilities and equipment . So I

01:06.101 --> 01:08.323
collaborated with the medical treatment

01:08.323 --> 01:10.730
facility . We actually had a really

01:10.730 --> 01:12.508
good collaboration . I was very

01:12.508 --> 01:14.620
grateful for the team that we had , I

01:14.620 --> 01:17.160
had spoken the last two days before

01:17.340 --> 01:20.220
with the dentist and his dental team

01:20.230 --> 01:23.220
and we had kind of discussed how it was

01:23.220 --> 01:26.410
going to go with Roy in the case of Roy ,

01:26.410 --> 01:29.210
we used a composite restoration , which

01:29.210 --> 01:30.932
is a tooth colored filling and

01:30.932 --> 01:33.260
basically what we do there is we do an

01:33.260 --> 01:35.316
acid etch on the tooth that we use a

01:35.316 --> 01:37.538
mild acid to clean the surface and make

01:37.538 --> 01:39.704
sure it's nice and clean . And then we

01:39.704 --> 01:41.760
put a bonding material down and then

01:41.760 --> 01:43.704
with the filling material in their

01:43.704 --> 01:45.427
shape that cure it with a high

01:45.427 --> 01:47.538
intensity visible light . And then we

01:47.538 --> 01:49.538
finish the shaping with some of the

01:49.538 --> 01:51.704
instruments that we have and check the

01:51.704 --> 01:55.350
bite and make sure it's correct . It's

01:55.350 --> 01:57.461
a lot of fun to work on the canines .

01:57.461 --> 01:59.517
The other thing is it's definitely a

01:59.517 --> 02:02.330
very direct impact that you have on the

02:02.330 --> 02:04.386
mission , being able to return a dog

02:04.386 --> 02:05.520
back to service

02:12.340 --> 02:12.850
mm .
