Residents and training
The route to becoming a Diplomate of the EVDC is not an easy one, it takes time and dedicationhowever at the end of the process you will be a recognised European Specialist in Veterinary Dentistry.
Animal owners
We know your pet or companion animal is important to you and you want what’s best for your friend. Veterinary Dental Specialists work with your general practice veterinarian to find a solution for your pet’s oral health needs.
The European Veterinary Dental College
In essence Diplomates of the EVDC have gone far beyond the level of dentistry found in most veterinary practices. Veterinary surgeons when confronted with a complex dentistry case will often refer the case to a Diplomate for assistance in providing care. Complicated extractions, root canal treatment, fractured teeth, tumours of the oral cavity, facial trauma, crowns or orthodontic treatment are all the sort of cases that Diplomates deal with on a regular basis. The fact that a veterinary surgeon refers a case to an acknowledged expert indicates that the veterinary surgeon is wanting to achieve the best possible care for the patient. This is a tribute to their dedication it reflects well on their professionalism.
