About this course

As part of our Fundamentals series, Fundamentals of Dentistry is aimed at new graduates but open to anyone looking to refresh their knowledge of dentistry basics.

Online pre-learning will cover the necessary theory so when you join us in person you can spend more time getting hands-on. During the day you will see a demonstration of rasping and how to get the most out of your equipment before taking your turn to practise carrying out dental exams and routine floating.

Our approachable speakers will share their vast knowledge with you to ensure that you leave feeling confident in your ability to manage everyday cases. We ask that you please bring your own dental equipment so you can get to grips with how best to use them. You will also get the opportunity to try out different models.

Please note, this course will involve travelling from Rossdales Equine Hospital to the British Racing School.
