Where can veterinarians learn equine dentistry?

[JukkaHolopainen-pe]

That's so true. After almost 40y of equine practice, about 25 only dentistry in Finland, I've noticed that often there is not a one and only solution to many problems, dental as well. And maybe more often people seem to concentrate on the wrong finding not seeing the the basic problem in the mouth. Years should make you humble.

You are so right…..I wouldn’t let a doctor do surgery on me unless he had gone through the proper training with someone who is qualified. I don’t want to be the first one he works on either. And when it comes to my animals that goes twofold. 👍

You've hit the biggest issue.
My region in N Idaho is small, very old fashion dentistry with the DVM'S(even newly graduated).
I'm a student with AED(met you there) and I can't get any vet support with sedation.
They're vocal behind their objection to dental practitioners...but they won't look into what the school teaches either.
I'm a farrier & have many customers current on dental knowledge & practitioners(requesting the practitioners...but the vets won't cooperate with their requests to be present for medical support.
I choose the school because I had a practitioner do my performance horses (but wouldn't be continuing work in my area)...and I couldn't bring myself to submit my horses to the local vets again after what advancements the practitioner introduced me too.
But now I can't do any dentals in my area in order to advance in my classes.
Do you have any advice for how a practitioner can function & navigate in order to get experience?

Love your openness and knowledge sharing. I started to gain interest in equine dentistry, but the tools required sometimes can be expensive !
