We are proud to be one of the 4 nationwide equine dental academies in the nation. We offer a unique and highly specialized training program. While the overall medical care is the responsibility of the equine veterinarian, often these professionals have little time or
energy available for dentistry. Yet most veterinarians and most horse professionals recognize that many health-related problems can be alleviated with proper dental care. Our qualified instructors will teach you the techniques to aid and improve the dental health of all horses.

Our dental academy basic equine dentistry curriculum includes the following: A thorough introduction to the anatomy of the equine head, recognition of numeric tooth identification systems, discussions of professional ethics, and many hours practicing the learned techniques under the supervision of our knowledgeable instructors. See (Calendar) page for tuition fees for the session you are interested in. Housing is available at $500.00 to $700.00 at local bed and breakfast establishments or a clean small motel in the area.

The class schedule is Monday through Friday, 9AM to 5PM (or whenever the last horse is finished). One Saturday is usually included toward the end of the program. At MEDA we pride ourselves in exposing our students to many wide varieties of dental problems in horses. We average 25 horses per student for practice work and learning. All students get to examine horses on which their classmates are working. This makes our graduates ready to take on many challenges they will encounter in their careers.
