What is a Board Certified Veterinary Dentist?

Specialty training in dentistry requires the completion of 3-6 years of training in an area of specialization beyond a Doctor in Veterinary Medicine Degree (DVM). A Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) is a veterinarian who has been certified by the AVDC as having demonstrated specialist knowledge and expertise in veterinary dentistry, oral surgery, anesthesia, and radiology/imaging as a result of completing the AVDC training requirements and having successfully passed the AVDC examination.  Learn more
