This
is a truly holistic dental course. Too many people are performing
unconscious dentistry on equines with no idea how devastating the
results can be to the horse. We teach a paradigm of dentistry that
focuses on restoring biomechanical function and comfort to the
temporomandibular joint. For many this is an entirely new way of
approaching dentistry and it may take several classes to fully
understand our approach. For others, especially if they have not
been doing dentistry incorrectly according to our standard, it is
simple and readily achieved. 
biomechanics of the TMJ, neurology, and posture are the primary
focus of this segment. You will be competent in evaluating posture,
TMJ comfort or discomfort, and assessing what the interferences are
with proper TMJ biomechanics and how they manifest themselves. You
may not even pick up a float in this class but will have the
opportunity to observe good dental practice.
