Dentistry is more than cleaning and pulling teeth; and dental disease is an animal welfare issue. Dr. Lesli Groshong will discuss the medical, financial, operational, emotional, and community impact complexities of dental disease in shelter animals.

● Common veterinary dental procedures in the shelter
● The challenges of balancing individual animal needs within shelter medicine, a specialty that focuses primarily on population and disease control
● How dental disease impacts animals, shelters, adopters, and veterinarians
