Boost your confidence and practical skills in equine dental work.

Part of our popular Fundamentals series, Fundamentals of Dentistry is designed to give new graduates a strong start, while also offering a valuable refresher for anyone looking to rebuild confidence in dentistry essentials.

You’ll begin with online pre-learning that covers all the core theory in advance, ensuring that when you join us in person, your time is focused on what matters most: hands-on learning.

On the day, our expert speakers will demonstrate key dentistry skills including effective rasping techniques and how to get the most from your own equipment. You’ll then put your learning into practice with guided sessions on performing thorough dental examinations and routine floating.

With supportive instructors and plenty of practical time, you’ll leave feeling confident, capable, and ready to manage everyday dentistry cases with ease.
