This lecture is the first in a six part series on Equine Nursing.
If you\'ve ever wanted to look a gift horse in the mouth, you’ve probably wanted to know a little more about equine dental health. Dental health is a very important part of horse care and keeping. This entry-level overview of the equine oral cavity is a good first step in developing an interest in equine dentistry.
On this night we will cover normal equine dental anatomy and physiology as well as common pathologies affecting the teeth. Preventative care and disease treatment will also be discussed in this lecture, which should give you something to chew on!
Delegates will consider:
• Anatomy
• Physiology
• Congenital malformations
• Developmental disorders
• Problems affecting the older horse
• Routine dental care
• Treatment of dental disease
Who is it for?
This lecture will appeal to VNs or SVNs who are keen to begin or develop their knowledge of equine dental disorders.
