Types and Treatment of Epulis in Dogs by real_septiady_madrid3532 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

An epulis is a benign tumor of the gums that holds teeth in place, with three types defined by composition and aggressiveness. It is most common in middle-aged brachycephalic dog breeds like Boxers. Signs may include drooling, bad breath, difficulty eating, or facial deformity. Diagnosis involves x-rays to determine depth and biopsy for identification. Treatment is complete surgical removal, sometimes including nearby teeth or bone, depending on the epulis type and invasiveness.
