Join us on online Sunday, Mar. 12, 2023 from 12 – 4pm for one of our premier WSVMA DVM: Masterclass Intensives, How to Make Veterinary Dentistry Fun & Rewarding, featuring Dr. Gary Goldstein. The event is generously sponsored by Lakefield Veterinary Group and will feature information that you can bring back to your practice and implement immediately.
Dr. Goldstein will cover the following topics:
Dental radiology – What’s normal
A review of normal dental radiology for the veterinarian will be discussed, so the veterinarian understands what is normal when dental radiographs are taken, and to have a basic understanding of dental radiology general before they can properly identify and diagnosis dental pathology. I will focus on overall tooth anatomy and the periodontium structures.
Dental Radiology – What’s not normal?
A review of dental pathology of periodontal disease, endodontic disease, tooth fractures and oral tumors will be discussed and presented. A clear understanding of these abnormalities is critical in educating your clients and developing proper diagnostic and treatment plans in your practice.
Pearls of wisdom for surgical and non-surgical extractions
A review of dental extraction instrumentation, flap techniques and ways to make extractions more efficient and easier for the general practitioner will be reviewed.
How to avoid and treat complications of extractions
This will be a follow-up to the previous session and will focus on how to prevent extraction complications and ways to treat complications when they occur.
