Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: How to Treat What You See - Treatments of Common Pathologies Found in the Oral Cavity utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

What to do with what you see in the mouth? This course compares various dental presentations including periodontal diseases, tooth resorptions, overbites, under bites, mandibular maxillary asymmetry, oral masses, and fractured teeth. It illustrates the various conditions and describes the treatment for those conditions. Simplifying procedural approaches and “treating what you see” can greatly improve the health of the mouth and long-term health of the patient.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • discuss the presentation of several dental conditions and diseases
  • compare and contrast healthy conditions vs. diseased conditions
  • outline treatments and procedures for the various dental presentations
  • discuss medications and therapies related to the care of various dental presentations

Participant Feedback

When asked what aspects of the course liked best some responses were:

...I liked how he went over thoroughly the types of periodontal disease and he went over some terminology.

...good explanation of rating periodontal disease

...Educational with practical application

...Dr.Bellows knowledge in dentistry is amazing and his tips and recommendations will help future patients in our practices.

...This course really helped me better understand the different types and stages of tooth resorptions, and the appropriate treatments. It was also very helpful in identifying and treating oral masses.

...The course did a great job of breaking down the differences in dental diseases and how to properly identify and treat them.

...I really enjoyed the photos and diagrams because they give you a better understanding of the diseases and issues at hand rather than reading them as bullet points to look out for. I will definitely use this later this week to help further my knowledge while performing cleanings!
