EVERYDAY DENTAL PROCEDURES & EXTRACTIONS
Most general practice vets perform small animal dentistry, but few have training that goes beyond the simplest procedures. Some even avoid dentistry! You know who you are.
If you haven’t had an in-person update since you learned the basics at uni, you might be surprised to hear that veterinary dentistry has moved a long way forward. There are plenty of tricks to performing great dental work, but not many have made it into mainstream practice. Until now.
Find out those things you’ve never known about dentistry and enjoy faster dentals with improved patient recovery. Make your owners AND your boss happy!
For registered veterinarians only.
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
This workshop has been designed for registered veterinarians who are required to perform veterinary dentistry in the course of their clinical work.
We’ve all heard that there are two types of vets: those who embrace dentals, and those who bravely (or loudly) struggle through them. This course has plenty to offer all GP vets, but we think it’s best suited to those who’ve had less access to dental training and mentorship.
If you’re more inclined to avoid a dental than volunteer to take one on, this could be a life-changing course for you. In addition to hours of hands on experience with personalised feedback, you’ll get to concentrate on the tips that take the fuss and frustration out of small animal dentistry. You’ll see how the experts hold and manipulate dental instruments to get the best results, and how to sing nursery rhymes under your breath while you apply consistent pressure against the periodontal ligament. Perhaps that last part was an exaggeration, but if you’ve ever fractured a tooth root because you’re rushing or impatient, you know exactly what we mean!
Whether you scored just a few sessions of dental training at uni (from what we’re hearing, that could be most of us), or you’ve been immersed in it since you started practice, this workshop will show you how to get along with everyday dentistry in practice. You’ll also see how a good ol’ dental can be something you actually look forward to.
Don’t miss this opportunity to embrace small animal dentistry. A dental offers variety, it can be really satisfying, and you can make a huge difference to an animal’s quality of life. Here’s the elephant in the room: if you’re under pressure to create income, it can help you there as well.

Making your workshop count in the real world
A VetPrac workshop will always put your practical skills first. Participants at our Everyday Dental Procedures & Extractions workshop perform a range of canine and feline dental procedures that are relevant to GP veterinary practice. These are skills you will rely on for every dental procedures. All practical sessions are led by highly qualified and experienced veterinary educators who are active in clinical practice. We want you to get current and practical training from a team that understands the pressures of clinical life.
Techniques presented in this course have been hand picked because they represent cases you already see in GP, or ones that are within your reach once you’ve completed this workshop. We’ve included some key procedures, for example, maxillary canine and maxillary carnassial extractions. There’s also a detailed section on how to retrieve a fractured tooth root in both the dog and the cat.
