Veterinarians and Technicians

Veterinarians Only

Level 1 is an Introductory Dentistry course that focuses on the training of the Veterinarian-Technician team to become familiar with various procedures and clinical aspects of veterinary dentistry. This is for those who have not had a great practical introduction to veterinary dentistry that has resulted in a good working knowledge of clinical dentistry. This course will eliminate the frustrations with case management, dental radiographic technique positioning and interpretation, periodontal care, and nerve blocks among others.

It is strongly recommended that the vet/tech dentistry team attend
and go through this course together for maximal impact.

Level 2 is the brand new version of our past Extraction Wet Lab and builds on the knowledge and skills from Level 1. Upon registration you get 5 hours of RACE approved video instruction to access immediately and master prior to coming to the actual lab. The Level 2 Extraction Wet Lab then utilizes that knowledge to provide two days of clinical wet lab instruction to round out the skills needed by veterinarians to excel in veterinary dentistry in general practice.

It is recommended but not required that veterinarians take the Level 1 Virtual or Level 1 Live.

Please note: We strongly recommend that either your technician or you AND your technician take Level 1 Live or Virtual if your dentistry service is not running smoothly in the areas below:

• • Radiographic Technique and Positioning
• • Basic Radiographic Interpretation
• • Nerve Blocks
• • Hands-on Periodontal Instrumentation and Technique
• • Client Education and Home Care
• • Dentistry Service Setup, Anesthesia and Pain Management

Two full days of lecture and hands-on wet lab in practical clinical veterinary dentistry provided by a Technician with a VTS Dentistry Specialty degree or AVDC diplomate. Critical topics covered by similar courses must include the topics below:

• • Radiographic Technique and Positioning
• • Basic Radiographic Interpretation
• • Nerve Blocks
• • Hands-on Periodontal Instrumentation and Technique
• • Client Education and Home Care
• • Dentistry Service Setup, Anesthesia and Pain Management
• • Fun and interactive Q and A throughout on these and other topics

The new Level 2 Extraction Wet Lab takes the lecture from the past labs and puts it into a 5-hour RACE accredited course that you access immediately and is yours to keep and refer back to for life. This is a prerequisite to be completed prior to Saturday day one.

This allows us to provide a new level of practical mostly hands-on instruction on Saturday that we couldn't provide previously. This leaves all day on Sunday for nothing but hands-on dog and cat extractions utilizing the skills that you have acquired from Level 1, the 5-hour online course, and Saturday’s clinical instruction and lab.

Not only do you get 4 more hours of CE than the previous format (20 vs 16) you have much more hands-on time in the wet lab. You also keep the 5-hour online course that before was the lecture provided throughout Saturday and Sunday
