This one-hour lecture explains instrument handling, cleaning and sharpening, the importance of proper cleaning technique, and probing and charting. Following is a detailed, three-hour, hands-on wet lab providing instruction on the proper way to do a complete dental prophylaxis and oral examination, including accurate charting. Learn how to properly handle instruments using the latest state-of-the-art equipment taught by some the most highly trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry. There is a low teacher-to-student ratio to ensure everyone receives individual instruction while probing, cleaning and charting the mouth of a dog and cat using cadaver heads. This is the most effective way to learn correct and safe technique because it imitates real-life patients without the stress of having to monitor anesthesia while trying to learn at the same time.
