Lynne Kesel is the author of Veterinary Dentistry for the Small Animal Technician, published by Wiley.  Designed to be used as a teaching tool for the veterinary dentistry technician, this book utilizes an easy-to-read style to explain basic biology of teeth and related structures. It then progresses through how-to chapters on dental prophy and covers other assistant roles of the technician. It also contains documenting (charting) dental procedures and dental education of clients by the technician. This is a must-have text for technicians, who want to teach themselves techniques, and for veterinarians who want an update in the dental area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990450127077,"sku":"NP9780813820378","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780813820378.jpg?v=1761787879","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/veterinary-dentistry-for-the-small-animal-technician-isbn-9780813820378","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
