Dentistry for RVNs: The Oral Examination and Charting

The oral examination is an important part of the clinical examination and should be performed routinely when patient’s present for consultations. However, there is a different process involved when performing an oral examination under general anaesthesia during dental procedures.  This webinar discusses what is needed to perform a through oral examination, how to perform this, what abnormalities we may find and how to identify and record these. The webinar is beneficial for registered veterinary nurses who are involved in dentistry procedures and would like to increase their knowledge in recognising and recording oral pathology
