It’s been a busy winter here at AEVD, helped massively by the dry weather which has facilitated a lot of dental checks 🐴🦷🔍😀

Here’s just a snippet of some of the interesting cases I’ve seen and treated -

🦷 Advanced periodontal disease of 309/409 necessitating a bilateral extraction
🦷 EOTRH
🦷 Tongue laceration
🦷 Grass seed impaction of the sublingual salivary gland papilla
🦷 Incisor wear due to wind sucking/cribbing
🦷 Cushing’s (PPID) lower lip ulcers
🦷 Full set of upper incisor extractions due to malformation/oxalate ingestion (2 photos)
🦷 Lower wolf tooth
🦷 Peripheral cemental caries

Just a reminder that there are only a few spaces left between now and Xmas so get in touch ASAP if you need horses seen to in the next few months. January is already fully booked, but spaces available February 2025 onwards 🗓️👌😁

🛬 Hi Everyone! Just a quick update on things now that I’m back from holidays ….

With the recent shortages in veterinary services, I have decided to open my books (for the first time in 2 years!) and allow some new clients on to my dentistry service roster. Service area is strictly limited to the Adelaide Hills (Willunga to Woodside), Strathalbyn and parts of the Fleurieu.

Additionally, preferential access will be given to dentistry clients of my lovely friend and colleague Dr Rebecca Dunn of Windrush Vets who is taking extended maternity leave.

Please contact me via text message on 0459 555 153 (this just makes it easier for me to manage and co-ordinate if communication is all in one place!) to make a booking. Don’t forget to include your location, number of horses, preferred day/time and any other relevant dental history when enquiring and I’ll do my best to accomodate some new faces 😁🐴🦷

Just a quick message to let everyone know I’ll be away on holidays from :

Friday 3/5/24 to Tuesday 28/5/24 (3.5 weeks)

I will reply to messages and texts on my return as I can’t guarantee I’ll have consistent mobile signal while I’m away … see you all in a few weeks time 😎👋✈️

Always an honour and a pleasure to be involved in these courses, educating and inspiring the next generation of equine dental vets 👩‍🏫🤓🦷🐎

⚡️Flashback to last week when we were just wrapping up from another Level 1 Essentials of Equine Dentistry where we seen 25 equine veterinarians have completed our training.

🚀They came from as far afield as New Zealand and Malaysia.

🦹‍♂️6 Days of complete immersion in equine dentistry to bring them up to the level of being able to go out and perform an oral exam and routine odontoplasty. 🐴🦷❤️

🤩Massive thanks to all the registrants who played full out over the 6 big days, along with the 10 strong EVDS Redshirt brigade who overcame many hurdles behind the scenes to deliver a brilliant workshop , and the 10 awesome tutors who encouraged and taught the registrants as much as possible. 🙏

✅Next one will be May 2025

📣 Just a quick shout out for a new vet starting up in the southern suburbs of Adelaide & Hills - check out Dr Lisa Tee’s FB page and give her a like & follow 👍

I met Lisa a few years ago when she was a student on one of the EVDS dental courses I was tutoring on and was super impressed with her down to earth nature and enthusiasm for all things veterinary.

She will be doing equine and companion livestock work so she’s perfectly suited to our neck of the woods down here.

Check it out and support - we need a great vet like this in our area 💗🐂🫏🐐🐎

🦷🐴👩‍🏫 Toothfest 2023 🤓🪥📚

Last week vets from all over the world (including myself!) converged on Coffs Harbour to learn from a brilliant group of international equine dentistry specialists. This conference happens once every 5 years and is a truly epic event 🙌

The latest research and techniques were presented plus panel discussions really sparked great debate on current topics in equine dentistry.

It was also great to see so many South Australian vets in attendance, just highlighting how we are collectively progressing veterinary dental care in our awesome state 🩵🦷👍

Norwegian Fjord chats on cold wet Friday afternoons are just the best 🥰🥰🥰

Persistence - Patience - Perseverance was todays mantra for a slightly stressful 104 (canine) extraction due to EOTRH.

The fragility of this tooth became obvious very early on when the crown broke off…

shortly followed by the mid segment of the tooth…

and finally by the root 😩😩😩

EOTRH is a degenerative condition that causes resorption of the tooth (think Swiss cheese 🧀 in tooth form) which makes them highly unstable and prone to fracturing.

The root also had a bulbous shape (another part of the EOTRH process called hypercementosis) to it which necessitated widening of the alveolar bone socket to facilitate its “square peg out of a round hole” extraction. I was one very happy veterinarian to see that little troublemaker piece out of there!! 😈

And did I mention that it also rained 3 times during this extraction … 🫤🌧🤷‍♀️

Doc was an absolute superstar and was seen happily munching away on grass 2hrs afterwards. The 204 also needs extraction but we will tackle that one another day … after a hot shower and a glass of wine 🚿🍷😁
