Hi, has anyone here had experience with or know of a cat getting a root canal to a premolar, or is it only possible for the canines? I've been having trouble finding the info online for cats. One of my boy's premolars looks to need attention, and I'm looking for possible alternatives to an extraction.
I'm asking on this forum because my kitty gets incredibly stressed at vet appointments, and places I've contacted won't provide info until he's brought in for a consult. He's being brought in to see a Dr anyway---but based on the root canal info, I would take him directly to a specialist rather than first his local vet, to then be referred to a dental specialist. Trying to reduce the number of appointments...I hope that makes sense...
Thanks in advance for any info you may know on this topic!
