Ludwigs Corner Veterinary Hospital was recently visited by board certified dentist Dr. Paul Mitchell. During the time of his visit he conducted two, four-hour training sessions with the veterinarians and staff. These tutorials have given the entire staff a better knowledge of basic dentistry. The doctors and technicians have also acquired a much broader awareness of more advanced canine and feline dentistry. The classes focused on modernized dental cleaning and charting procedures, and new techniques of dental extractions and oral surgery. These skills will help advance our hospital to a higher level of veterinary dentistry, and in turn allow us to better care for your pet’s oral health.
