Courses offered

Equine dental care

SLU's continuing education in the horse's oral cavity, which is open to licensed veterinarians with equine practice and licensed dentists working in equine clinics under veterinary responsibility, is conducted in the form of 3 sub-courses (1-3) where groups of up to 24 participants gather for theoretical and practical exercises. In addition, there are practical home assignments that the participants carry out between the sub-courses and the possibility of examination. It takes about 3 years to go straight from course 1 to examination. Those who passed the exam, we believe that we who created and are responsible for this training (ie Ove Wattle and Torbjörn Lundström) can be called "Horse Dentists"
