My name is Amy Thomson, and I would like to help veterinary teams and pet parents provide the best oral health care YEAR-ROUND!
For me, it’s not just February that is Pet Oral Health Month – it’s EVERY month!
During my time in general practice, I was fortunate to see first-hand how much oral health can improve our pets’ overall lives, fueling my growing passion.
When a thorough, whole mouth approach is taken, all known oral problems, as well as those hiding under the surface, are found and treated. This leads to an exponential improvement in our pets’ overall comfort!
After completing a three-year dentistry & oral surgery residency at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I put my new knowledge and experience to use in a busy referral hospital in Toronto. This was followed by three years of mobile services where I brought my skills to primary care clinics and cared for their patients at their facilities all over Ontario. I have now returned to Toronto where my team and I care for pets at the Lakeshore Animal Health Partners Emergency Referral Hospital.
I believe teaching veterinary teams about dentistry and oral health is important and I hope that on this website everyone finds what they need to better educate themselves about our furry companions’ oral health. If veterinary teams can communicate properly to clients the importance of oral health and pet parents can understand why it matters; our pets are the ones who benefit.
