Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. Yes, there are veterinarians that specialize in dentistry. Many general practitioners enjoy dentistry and will have additional training. There are also board certified veterinary dentists. These are veterinarians who have completed residency programs and passed a qualifying exam. They now limit their practice to advanced dentistry. I hope this information helps!
