Wild Smiles

Dr. Steven Holmstrom, an exotic animal veterinarian dentist, shared his life-long experience helping wild creatures big and small to better teeth.

Dental hygiene is not merely a cosmetic concern when survival hinges on the ability to hunt and chew food in the wild. Dr. Holmstrom saved hundreds of lives when he restored functions to his patients, including sharks, sea lions, sea otters, bears, lions, and tigers. He was a pioneer in the field of veterinarian dentistry. In fact, he literally wrote the textbook in this specialized healthcare.
