Committees

Dental Committee

Goal

The Dental Committee works to support our members in improving the oral health of companion animals worldwide.

Objectives

  • Promote the importance of veterinary dentistry globally

  • Raise standards of veterinary care for companion animals globally by creating educational resources, including global guidelines, to support veterinary teams and pet owners.

History

With veterinary dentistry widely viewed as being undervalued and overlooked in many parts of the world despite the suffering oral health issues cause to many companion animals, the GDC was initially created in 2015 to create a set of WSAVA Global Guidelines in this area. Since the publication of its Guidelines, it has continued its work to educate WSAVA members as to the importance of veterinary dentistry and to advance veterinary dentistry skills globally.
