    1 Veterinary Dentistry: Growing your Practice with Pathology Recognition, Preventive Dental Care, and Value Marketing© Kevin S. Stepaniuk, DVM, Fellow AVD, Diplomate AVDC Columbia River Veterinary Specialists, Vancouver WA Adjunct Assistant Professor University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine CVMA - Society of BC Veterinarians Chapter Fall Conference and Trade Show – November 9, 2014 INTRODUCTION Developing and growing a successful veterinary dentistry service in a general practice relies on several key factors. But what do I know? My background has allowed me the opportunity to build a general practice, a private referral dentistry practice, develop programs in academia, and develop a specialty practice within a multiple discipline specialty hospital. I do not have a business degree or a corporate leadership position or an entrenched academic ivory tower position. I have, and continue to, work on the front line in the trenches. However, my collective experiences, clinical training, leadership and business training, board positions, and opportunity to see success and failure from both sides of the referral fence, provide me with a unique perspective on veterinary dentistry and oral surgery in veterinary practice; where it has come from, where it is at, where it is going, and where can we direct it to go. I believe there are many missed opportunities in veterinary dentistry, patient avocation, and patient care due to seven (7) common short comings in practical veterinary dentistry©: 1) Lack of collective veterinary dental education
  • Veterinary Dentistry Extraction

    Veterinary Dentistry Extraction

    Veterinary Dentistry Extraction Introduction The extraction of teeth in the dog and cat require specific skills. In this chapter the basic removal technique for a single rooted incisor tooth is developed for multi-rooted and canine teeth. Deciduous teeth a nd feline teeth, particularly those affected by odontoclastic resorptive lesions, also require special attention. Good technique requires careful planning. Consider if extraction is necessary, and if so, how is it best accomplished. Review the root morphology and surrounding structures using pre-operative radiographs. Make sure you have all the equipment you need, and plan pre and post-operative management. By the end of this chapter you should be able to: ü Know the indications for extracting a tooth ü Unders tand the differing root morphology of dog and cat teeth ü Be able to select an extraction technique and equipment for any individual tooth ü Know of potential complications and how to deal with them ü Be able to apply appropriate analgesic and other treatment. Indications for Extraction Mobile Teeth Mobile teeth are caused by advanced periodontal disease and bone loss. Crowding of Teeth Retained deciduous canine. Teeth should be considered for extraction when they are interfering with occlusion or crowding others (e.g. supernumerary teeth). Retained Deciduous Teeth Never have two teeth of the same type in the same place at the same time. This is the rule of dental succession. Teeth in the Line of a Fracture Consider extracting any teeth in the line of a fracture of the mandible or maxilla. Teeth Destroyed by Disease Teeth ruined by advanced caries, feline neck lesions etc.

BILLS: CS/SB 220 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Careers & Competition Subcommittee 10 Y, 2 N, As Wright Anstead CS 2) Commerce Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS In Florida, the practice of “veterinary medicine” means the diagnosis of medical conditions of animals, and the prescribing or administering of medicine and treatment to animals for the prevention, cure, or relief of a wound, fracture, bodily injury, or disease and is regulated by the Board of Veterinary Medicine under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The bill allows the practice of veterinary medicine via veterinary telemedicine, where patient care is provided through the use of medical information exchanged via electronic communications. The bill creates licensing exceptions to allow a person other than a veterinarian to perform animal massage, animal acupressure, and animal tooth brushing. The bill does not have a fiscal impact on state or local governments. The bill provides an effective date of July 1, 2017. This document does not reflect the intent or official position of the bill sponsor or House of Representatives. STORAGE NAME: h0199b.CCS DATE: 3/30/2017 FULL ANALYSIS I. SUBSTANTIVE ANALYSIS A.

    Growing Interest in Hormone Sparing Dog Sterilization and Recommendations for Standard Identification Methods Linda Brent Parsemus Foundation, San Francisco, CA

    Growing interest in hormone sparing dog sterilization and recommendations for standard identification methods Linda Brent Parsemus Foundation, San Francisco, CA Abstract Sterilization methods for pets have been around for more than a century, but the practice of spaying and neutering dogs varies globally, from being considered a standard of responsible care in some countries to an infringement of animal welfare in others. In the US, advocacy for spay/neuter programs became widespread in the 1970s to address canine overpopulation. More recently, research on the impact of canine neutering has identified potentially serious health and behavior consequences of removal of the gonads and associated sex hormones that appear to be influenced by sex, breed, age and environment. An alternative is hormone preserving sterilization, including hysterectomy and vasectomy, which allows population control while maintaining natural hormone concentrations. Informal analyses regarding alternatives to traditional spay/neuter indicate that interest from the public and veterinarians has grown in the last 2 years, public demand for veterinarians who offer alternatives is increasing and although most veterinarians acknowledge the pros and cons of gonadectomy, the number providing hormone preserving sterilization is very low. Given current trends toward individualized medicine and increasing public demand, it is likely that the number of practitioners who offer vasectomy, hysterectomy or other hormone reserving sterilization procedures will grow. Now is the time to develop standard methods of identifying dogs who have received such procedures, so that they do not unnecessarily undergo a second surgery. Following an analysis of current practice and available identification methods, we recommend that simple green tattoos be applied to the inguinal area (“X” for hysterectomy and “V” for vasectomy) to identify sterilized dogs.

    Professional Practice Standard1: Veterinary Dentistry (Companion Animals)

    Professional Practice Standard1: Veterinary Dentistry (Companion Animals) Published October 2018; modified May 2020i ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Performing dentistry on animals falls within the scope of practice of veterinary medicine. The knowledge acquired during the course of veterinary training qualifies veterinarians to provide preventive oral care and dental treatment to animals. Dental care in veterinary medicine involves the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the teeth and associated structures. Competent and safe performance of dentistry requires extensive knowledge of anatomy, anesthesiology, pharmacology, physiology, pathology, radiology, neurology, medicine and surgery. Definitions Veterinary dentistry: Veterinary dentistry involves oral health care procedures in any animal species including all aspects of evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of any and all diseases of the teeth, oral cavity, mandible, and maxillofacial area and adjacent structures. (Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, January 2018) Companion animals: For the purpose of this Professional Practice Standard, “companion animal” does not include equines. Non-Surgical (or Closed) extraction: Extraction of teeth without the creation of a gingival/mucogingival flap; with or without tooth sectioning or removal of interproximal crown tissue. Can progress to requiring a surgical extraction technique if complications arise. Surgical (or Open) extraction: Extraction of teeth after a gingival/mucogingival flap creation and alveolectomy Alveolectomy: Removal of some or all of the alveolar bone Practice Expectations A veterinarian who provides dental services to any companion animal(s) meets the Professional Practice Standard: Veterinary Dentistry (Companion Animals) when he/she: 1 Council approved the ‘Professional Practice Standard: Veterinary Dentistry (Companion Animals)’ on October 12, 2018; modification approved May 29, 2020 1.
