Summary

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
