[quote user="Evelyn Barbour-Hill"]Lisa Milella is surely your neighbourhood dental expert.[/quote] I've only ever referred one dental case and that was to whoever was the peripatetic dentist at Runneymeade Hospital. The few exotics I refer I prefer to send to Martin Lawton but he's in Essex so quite a trek round the M25, nearer ones I don't trust but occasionally its any port in a storm.

I have a rabbit with probable impacted (if that's the word) upper cheek tooth roots, at least they look elongated on X-ray and its left naso-lacrimal duct is partially blocked, presumably by the tooth roots. My understanding is that this would necessitate extraction of the offending teeth before it gets much worse. So if that is the correct assumption who do I refer it to: a dentist or an exotics specialist? Evelyn and Mark - would you like to fight over it?! Or perhaps point me in the right direction.

Exotics specialist to be sure of diagnosis then on to dentist for dental extraction.

Lisa Milella is surely your neighbourhood dental expert.

[/quote] Why didn't I think of that? Rabbit's gone home now and I don't think they will be over-keen for me to have it back in again in a hurry. I could post the plain X-ray but don't have digital so will be a photograph of the plate on the viewing box so maybe not much good.

Ha Ha more than happy to see it, Steve Smith at Wendover Heights is probably closer though.

Alex Smithson said he was happy to see rabbits when I discussed it with him on a cpd course a few years ago, not sure if he's local to you.
