Postponed/Cancelled: Fundamentals of Dentistry

About the Course

The day revolves around the treatment of live patients with a balance of Veterinary Surgeons and highly experienced Equine Dental Technicians leading the teaching. Small group practicals will allow all delegates to perform full dental treatments under the guidance of the course tutors. This course is aimed at practitioners looking to improve their knowledge and practical skills in the use of motorised dental equipment for routine rasping.

Key Learning Objectives

• Refresh your knowledge of the normal equine mouth and the common pathology found within the oral cavity.
• Update your knowledge of the maintenance of the modern motorised dental units and their safe use.
• Develop an effective method of oral examination.
• Be confident in your approach to the routine motorised rasping of the horse’s teeth.
• Improve your technique using motorised equipment to correct more advanced pathology.

	I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge and feel more competent in equine dentistry as a result. I will definitely be using what has been taught on a regular basis and will be passing learnt information on to colleagues also.
