Learn how to take a diagnostic intraoral radiograph using the latest state of the art equipment taught by some the most highly trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry. There is a low teacher to student ratio to ensure everyone takes all the images necessary to obtain full mouth radiographs of a dog and cat using cadaver heads. This is the most effective way to learn intraoral dental radiography because it imitates real life patients without the stress of having to monitor anesthesia while trying to learn at the same time.
