Course Overview

This course covers the introduction to veterinary dentistry starting with diagnostics in small animal dentistry, clinical and radiographic assessment of oral and dental structures and using and filling-in dental charts for dogs and cats. It also focuses on the importance of radiography and trains participants how to expose and interpret intraoral dental radiographs. Canine and feline dental extractions are another clinically very important subject and represent the most common surgical procedure in these species. They are covered in the second part of the course.

Topics

  • oral and dental anatomy and physiology
  • oral examination technique and charting
  • dental equipment and instrumentation
  • oral radiography and interpretation
  • comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment (COHAT)
