Equine Dental Technicians Training

[AnnieG]

Which is the best school/program in North America to do the training?

I am Canadian, so my go to was to look at courses there first. I have found some run by EDT’s but I’m just not convinced. I feel that being trained by an Equine Vet Dentist is the way to go. There is also a lot of grey area when you speak to vets in Canada about EDT’s so that has me a bit cautious as well.

There are a few different programs in the U.S. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? Location isn’t an issue for me as I could attend any of them, I’m wondering if some are better than others and why.

The end goal for me would be to sit the BEVA/BVDA exam and be able to practice in England.

If anyone would be willing to share their journey to becoming an EDT and how they navigated it I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for any advice/input.

I'm sure that there was an HHOer on here who delivered equine dentist training in the USA. I came across him when he was trying to find out on here whether a English equine dentist (recently retired) was making false claims about his previous training and qualifications.

I'm beggared if I can find the thread, though. Sorry.

ETA. Found it, but it's old (from 2009). Not sure if it'll be any help at all.

You might get a better response on a US horse forum. Everyone's pretty helpful on here, but it's a UK forum (with some great international members!) so possibly not as well equipped to answer your question as somewhere like COH
