The new edition of Veterinary Dentistry for the General Practitioner
has been thoroughly revised and updated to ensure it continues to meet
the needs of today's veterinarians and veterinary students. The book
offers all the theoretical knowledge and practical help any general
practitioner needs in order to practise good dentistry, providing
comprehensive and detailed knowledge of how to diagnose, prevent and
treat common oral conditions in the dog and cat. It also presents
information as to diagnosis and initial management of less common
diseases, where the ultimate treatment will generally be performed by a
specialist but the general practitioner needs to be able to identify a
problem and have a basic understanding of the pathophysiology of the
tissues involved. Dental conditions of lagomorphs and rodents are also
covered.
