Veterinary dentistry is a specialized field of veterinary medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the oral cavity in animals. While human dentists and veterinary dentists share some similarities in their training and techniques, there are also some key differences. Human dentists are trained to work on humans, while veterinary dentists are trained to work on animals. This means that veterinary dentists have a deeper understanding of the anatomy and physiology of animals' mouths, as well as the diseases that can affect them.
In some cases, human dentists may be able to perform dental work on pets, but this is not always the case. If you are considering having a human dentist work on your pet, it is important to consult with a veterinary dentist first to ensure that it is the best option for your pet.
