Description
Dentistry is a relatively new and expanding area for vets. For many years it has been overlooked or inadequately taught at veterinary colleges, leaving students and vets with little or no training in this discipline. Now the interest in this area has increased and dentistry has become an important part of everyday veterinary practice. Designed to be a 'how-to-do' book, this practical manual guides the reader through all the routine dentistry procedures carried out in general practices. With over 350 colour pictures and special sections on practical tips and trouble-shooting, Small Animal Dentistry is an essential easy-access reference tool for veterinary students and veterinary practitioners alike
Reviews / Votes
"This reference is current, often very comprehensive, and well ordered. The text is well written and the photos and diagrams are a highlight." (Australian Veterinary Journal, 2007) 'This book cannot fail to transform veterinary dentistry into a more interesting and exciting aspect of general practice. It will serve to inspire all veterinary surgeons - and, indeed, nurses - who read it, and encourage them to improve the treatment that they provide to dentistry patients." (Veterinary Times, 2007)More details
