CANINE DENTISTRY & ORAL SURGERY COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This two-day comprehensive course will combine ample hands-on laboratory time and lecture for the veterinarian, teaching important techniques in surgical extraction of firmly rooted teeth, with a focus on flap extractions of maxillary and mandibular canine teeth, maxillary fourth premolar teeth and mandibular first molar teeth. Also, oral surgery nerve blocks will be taught in laboratory as well as dental radiograph positioning and radiograph interpretation.

Emphasizing the importance of a team approach in dentistry for your practice, a technician track will also be offered, which will include some of the same lectures offered in the veterinarian track. In addition, our veterinary technicians will offer technician-centric lectures on popular topics in dentistry and anesthesia. Wet lab topics for the technician track are focused on empowering technical staff, including oral examination, dental radiography, dental charting, and components of the professional dental cleaning. Technicians are also encouraged to take part in the nerve block wet laboratory.
