5.0 out of 5 stars Veterinary Dentistry: Principles and Practice, April 6, 2008

This review is from: Veterinary Dentistry: Principles and Practice (Paperback)

Most of the dentistry texts that you will find here are too general to be helpful in advancing your knowledge of dentistry. This text was recommended to me by a board certified veterinary dentist as a way to learn the etiology and the "why" eveything is done as it is. If you are at that place where you are learning more advanced procedures and techniques but you need some good knowledge to pair with your new skills, this is probably the text with which to start. There are also other texts here from the AVDS reading list but this is a great general text.

An excellent resource for those who are developing an involved interest in veterinary dentistry. A comprehensive text that discusses why certain dental procedures are done and the physiologic response to these treatments.
