Plain-English summary
A dog with a dental issue was diagnosed with a condition called dens invaginatus, where a tooth was forming inside another tooth. The veterinarian performed endodontic treatment, which is a procedure to save the affected tooth by cleaning out the pulp and sealing it. This treatment helped resolve the problem, allowing the dog to keep its tooth and avoid further complications.
