Canine and Feline Dentistry – Nerve blocks with Dr Aaron Forsayeth

This session covers local anaesthesia in veterinary dentistry from technique through to pharmacology. Landmarks, approach and safety are covered for the caudal mandibular, caudal maxillary and mental/infraorbital blocks, with a dedicated focus on avoiding orbital penetration – followed by agent selection, dosing, toxicity thresholds, species differences between dogs and cats, and adjuncts to extend block duration. Delegates leave equipped to plan safe, effective full-mouth analgesia.
