Overview

In this 1.5 day course Professor Smithson draws on evidence and his experience in both human and veterinary dentistry, to provide a clear, logical approach for dental and oral cases encountered in practice.
- Both practical course days devoted to interactive and wet-lab sessions
- Pre-course webinars illuminate the subject and build understanding
- Equipment for dentistry - pros, cons, care and optimal use
- Oral examination and investigation - approach and protocols
- Dental and oral disease and abnormalities - prevention and cure
- Indications for extraction - when to extract, why and alternatives
- Local analgesic techniques for dentistry
- Extraction techniques
Note: in order to maximise practical time on extraction techniques:
- Dental radiography technique is not included
- Radiographic image interpretation is incorporated within dental disease and abnormality
