Veterinary dentistry involves the application of dental care to animals, encompassing not only the prevention of diseases and maladies of the mouth, but also considers treatment. In the United States, veterinary dentistry is one of 20 veterinary specialties recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Among other services, veterinary dentists perform endodontics, oral radiographs, and cosmetic and medically indicated surgeries. They address various conditions such as jaw fractures, malocclusions of the teeth, oral cancer, periodontal disease, and unique veterinary conditions like feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions.
Additionally, some animals have specialized dental workers like equine dental technicians, who perform routine dental work on horses.
