We had an excellent CPD day at North Wales Equine Dental Practice with Andy Peffers MRCVS.
Some really good lectures that intelligently covered the detail on a range of conditions and also covered the interface between equine dentists and veterinarians.
WWAED updated their status.
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

The WWAED are the main sponsors for the TriDent Equine Dental Conference 2025, as we believe continuous learning is key to providing a better environment for equines everywhere.
This is a great opportunity for equine dentists to expand their knowledge.
It is also an opportunity for non-equine dentists to gain an insight into equine dentistry.
Whether you are already working in the industry or just a horse owner and you want to know more about what goes on in a horses' mouth, why not book your place?
If you are in the industry, it may even count as CPD points for you.

We have 3 category 1 practical exams this week. Successful participants will become members of the association.
We are the only group that have an exam, theory and practical, at the category 1 level.
It is important for us to know how our members perform in their regular everyday work.
The DEFRA and RCVS approved category 2 exam that we offer is good to understand whether a dentist is capable of performing the more advanced procedures. However, the majority of work that an equine dentist will carry out is on an unsedated horse to remove sharp edges and to ensure the mouth is functioning well, while identifying anything that might need more advanced work or a referral.
Our entrance exam allows us to understand how our members will perform their day to day work, which is important to ensure standards within the association.
If you would like to know more about our association, please feel free to message.

If you are an equine dentist, why not get on the course and begin your path to a UK recognised qualification. This qualification will allow you to be a recognised professional in your field. Veterinarians and all other equine practitioners recognise this exam.
If you are a horse owner, why not let your equine dentist know that this qualification is available for them to take.
People wishing to take the exam do not have to belong to the WWAED, as we are the only independent provider of this exam in the UK. However, we would be happy for them to undertake our joining process and to come on board.
