Maximising the Benefits of Your Dental Exam & Treatment Planning (SVS2024)

Conscious oral exam is a crucial part of our physical exam during a routine general heath check-up. An efficient and accurate oral exam allows us to diagnose any concurrent dental disease during the consultation, discuss the findings and estimate with the pet owners prior to the procedure day. A systematic approach that involves extraoral palpation followed by intraoral visualization and manipulation to identify normal and abnormal structures will be thoroughly discussed during this lecture. A video demonstration will also be included as part of the lecture.
