BIOLASE integrates laser technology with Pet Dental Services

---

BIOLASE, Inc. announced on June 14 an arrangement with Pet Dental Services (PDS) to integrate diode laser technology into its practices. PDS' vision in the animal health care profession is to provide services through veterinary hospitals coast to coast. Pet Dental Services has been providing anesthesia-free dental care for over 10 years and has established an excellent reputation among a network of more than 300 veterinarians, according to a news release.

By adopting BIOLASE's diode laser technology, Pet Dental Services will provide veterinarians with one of the most cutting-edge care options available for pet patients. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of periodontal disease by the age of three. In these cases, bacteria infects gum tissue and the roots of teeth resulting in disease and tooth loss.

In addition to the negative impact on oral health, bacteria can also enter the bloodstream through the large blood vessels located near pets' gums and teeth. Organs with the highest blood flow are most susceptible to infections, including the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver and even the brain. Damage to these organs caused by infection can drastically shorten pets' lives.

John Beaver, president and CEO of BIOLASE, said in the news release that the company's diode laser technology is a great fit for a non-traditional dental care provider like Pet Dental Services.

"With a focus on offering veterinarians and pet owners experience and expertise that is second to none, we believe Pet Dental Services promises the very best in anesthesia-free dental care for dogs and cats," he said. "The adoption of our innovative technology can help fulfill that promise. Not only does our technology treat periodontal disease, it can also help pets live healthier lives."
