To gain an insight into the prevalence of dental disease in dogs and cats and forms of dental treatment, a postal survey was conducted among veterinarians in the Netherlands. Seventy per cent of the veterinarians replied that they made routine oral examinations of dogs and cats. Of dental diseases observed in dogs and cats periodontal diseases were stated to be the most common dental problem. Dental treatments, such as removal of calculus and extractions, were performed by nearly all veterinarians. Fifty per cent of the veterinarians asked for assistance of a dentist when a dental treatment could not be carried out by themselves. More education in veterinary dentistry to veterinary students and veterinarians is required.
为深入了解犬猫牙科疾病的患病率及牙科治疗形式，在荷兰对兽医进行了一项邮寄调查。70%的兽医回复称他们会对犬猫进行常规口腔检查。在犬猫身上观察到的牙科疾病中，牙周疾病被认为是最常见的牙科问题。几乎所有兽医都会进行诸如清除牙结石和拔牙等牙科治疗。当自己无法进行牙科治疗时，50%的兽医会寻求牙医的帮助。需要对兽医专业学生和兽医进行更多的兽医牙科教育。
