Practical Takeaways for Your Practice
Every session is built around cases you see in GP — leave with frameworks you can apply immediately.
Systematic Oral Examination & Charting
The step-by-step equine oral exam with proper speculum use, sedation considerations, lighting, and mirror/endoscope technique. A complete dental chart protocol you can implement on your next farm call.
Equine Dental Anatomy
The anatomy you need fluency in to chart accurately and describe pathology correctly — Triadan numbering, occlusal anatomy, and the aging-by-dentition framework. Foundational knowledge the rest of the course builds on.
Common Pathology Recognition
Diastemata and periodontal disease, EOTRH (equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis), infundibular caries, fractures, peripheral caries, and malocclusions. What they look like, what they mean, and how urgent they are.
When to Refer
A clear decision framework for when a case belongs with a general equine practitioner vs. a dental specialist. Covers the cases where delay causes real harm and the cases where conservative management is defensible.
Course Abstract
Live Online Interactive Webinar • Case-Based • Sponsor-Free
Most equine practitioners float teeth every season and never do a complete oral exam. This course changes that.
Dr. Molly Rice is one of a small number of AVDC-certified equine dental specialists in the country. Her 2-hour introduction walks equine practitioners through the systematic oral exam, equine dental anatomy, common pathology you're already seeing (and probably missing), when to refer to a specialist, and how to interpret the basic dental radiographs that should be part of every serious workup. Built for ambulatory and clinic-based practitioners who want to get their dental game past the float.
