One day workshop

for

Vet Nurses

With the increasing demand for vet nurses to take on greater responsibilities in the care of dental patients, this workshop will cover the essential aspects of dental procedures, patient care and client communication to see you rise to be the Dental Champion in your Practice. 

 Develop your skills and gain greater confidence in dental grading, scaling and polishing, dental radiography and home care communication as this workshop provides you with the why behind the what you are doing in clinic.  This workshop will ensure you have the skills to provide Gold Standard Care from admit to discharge and beyond for your dental patients. 

 Dental Radiography certainly has its challenges, and this workshop will provide you with the skills and confidence to produce diagnostic images including the ability to recognise and correct common dental xray errors.  You will expand your techniques beyond the bi-secting angle and the parallel techniques, being able to incorporate a new range of techniques to capture those more challenging images your vets require.   

 This workshop has something for everyone, from the novice to the experienced Nurse wanting to expand their skillset in dentistry.

This workshop combines the content from our Dentistry for Veterinary Nurses I and II workshops, offering a seamless and comprehensive learning experience.
