HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION
The Foundation owes its existence to the early pioneers of veterinary dentistry who saw a need and joined together to bring awareness to animal suffering and undetected dental disease. Without these dedicated men and women the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry would not be touching the lives of animals, providing outreach and clinical education for students, and sharing with the world the need for appropriate oral diagnosis and treatment.
