AAHA Dental Care Guidelines |
CVO's Position on Veterinary Dentistry |
CVO Discipline Case June 2010 |
CVO Discipline Case Dec 2012 |
|
The American Animal Hospital Association published their first guidelines for providing veterinary dental care as of 2005. Here are the 2019 guidelines Is your veterinarian offering this level of care? Be sure to ask.
|
The College of Veterinarians of Ontario published this position statement in 2008 on the provision of veterinary dental care in Ontario. All veterinarians in Ontario should be adhering to this policy. Does yours? Be sure to ask. | Not all veterinary facilities provide the same level of dental care. As the owner, you have a right to know, so be sure to ask who does what. | Despite the existence of the AAHA Guidelines and the CVO's position statements, some veterinarians are still behind the times. Buyer beware. |

Before any procedures are done on your pet,
you must provide informed owner consent. At Hale Veterinary Clinic, you
will be ask to sign this form: Consent In order for the consent to be valid, you
must be informed of risks and benefits and also you must be informed
regarding who will be doing what. At Hale Veterinary Clinic you will be
asked to review this document on that issue: If you have not been adequately informed, then the consent you provide is invalid. If you have any questions, ASK. You have a right to know and we have an obligation to tell you.

In Ontario, Anesthesia Free Tooth Grooming is not currently (2019) illegal. The logic in the court ruling was that since veterinarians do not offer this, it is not "practicing veterinary medicine without a license". Why do veterinarians in Ontario not offer this? Because it is considered malpractice to do so. So lay people with no valid training and no regulation are allowed to do this. What could possibly go wrong? Here is my statement on this situation written in January of 2018. The Ontario court ruling from 2017 with my comments. Regardless of jurisdiction or current regulations, it is a terrible idea and should be avoided completely. here

I have started a new Facebook page:
Built for Function and Fitness or BFF The goal is to celebrate and
promote dogs and cats that are physically constructed in ways that will
support desirable function and quality of life for the animal. My hope is
to change what society values in favour of those features that are in the
animal's best interest. |
