This workshop covers the skills and information needed by all doctors and technicians to enable delivery of quality dental care. We are committed toward helping you implement a higher level of dental care in your practice. This requires training for both the doctor and technical staff. At a minimum, one interested doctor and one interested technician should attend the Introduction to Veterinary Dentistry and Radiology class, while the doctor should stay for the Introduction to Veterinary Oral and Periodontal Surgery class. Sending only a technician who has no interest in dental care to class rarely creates any lasting change in a practice.
