This practical 2-day workshop will focus around refining techniques for extracting teeth (exodontics) as well as options for saving them. This will not only provide the best treatment options for your clients’ cats and dogs but also aim to make each dental procedure more efficient and less potentially challenging. From a practical perspective, though the emphasis will revolve around periodontitis and exodontics. Discussion will also be had around other dental disciplines.
Key Skills:
- Perform dental extractions, no matter how big or small with confidence
- When to save teeth rather than extract a tooth
- What to do with those common but frustrating cat dental problems
- “Inject with success” – dental nerve blocks: how and where to place them
- Why it’s imperative to have and use dental radiography
- Radiology: interpretation of dental radiographs.
