iCatCare launches feline dentistry course
Students that complete the course will be able to identify a range of dental abnormalities.
Students will learn how to persuade cat owners to consent to further investigation. 

Global welfare charity International Cat Care (iCatCare) has launched a new feline dentistry course - ‘Feline Dentistry – Interactive Case-Based Learning’.

The six-month course takes place online and promises to break down the notoriously difficult discipline into four digestible, easy to learn modules. 

With an emphasis on providing practical skills, the course will guide students through consultation, further investigations, treatment and post-operative and preventative care.

Students that complete the course will be able to identify a range of dental abnormalities, persuade cat owners to consent to further investigation and treatment, and formulate and carry out the ideal treatment plan for each cat.

Veterinary surgeon Dr Matthew Oxford, who helped develop the course, commented: “Dentistry is poorly represented in undergraduate veterinary courses, with feline specific dentistry perhaps only having one or two lectures, yet dentistry accounts for roughly 25 per cent of all general surgery. 

“This transformational course uses a very practical approach to case management taking vets from the initial consultation, through anaesthesia, dental radiography, surgery, and then postoperative care. Cases are worked through with extensive teaching material supplemented into cases to provide a pragmatic, case-based approach.”
