The one where we talk about tools...

Annabel and Andrew consider their favourite instruments for dentistry. It's not to say they are fussy (although their techs may disagree) but they've spent a disconcertingly long time considering the tools of their trade. They even have an opiniion on non-sterile gloves!

The one where we return after our extended summer break! We're talking about all things feline oral inflammatory, considering definitions and opinions, research, peer review and the importance of keeping an open mind whilst critically appraising new developments.

The one with Morten. In this episode, we’re joined by Morten Hinge, a veterinary dentist and Instagram educator whose engaging content has made veterinary dentistry accessible to over 60,000 people. We dive into the challenges and rewards of teaching veterinary dentistry, both in the classroom and online. Morten shares insights on how social media has transformed the way vets learn and teach, the importance of visual communication in education, and why clarity and consistency matter just as much as clinical skill. Whether you’re a student, a seasoned practitioner, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of dental education.

The one with the gunshot wounds.

In this clinically focused episode Alix and Annabel unpack common and complex presentations—from acute oral trauma and fractured canines to maxillofacial trauma including two extraordinary cases: canine and feline patients who sustained gunshot wounds to the oral and maxillofacial region.

Designed for veterinarians, nurses, and specialists with an interest in dentistry, surgery, or emergency medicine, this episode is packed with practical pearls, cautionary tales, and real-world case management tips to enhance your clinical confidence and outcomes in the face of dental emergencies.

The one about oncology. In this episode we hear from Alix what we can learn from attending human conferences (and we wish her a happy belated birthday!). Annabel discusses hypercellular peripheral odontogenic fibroma and the episode ends on a cliffhanger!!

The one about certificates...

In this epsiode Alix, Annabel and Andy chat with Laura Tuomi and Dave Deane, two advanced practitioners, about post grad training, how they fell into the murky waters of dentistry and why they didn't get straight out! Dave is a volunteer on an RNLI Lifeboat, so he should have known better.

As usual, it's an irreverent chat about some serious subjects, not least patient welfare and lip entrapment.

Alix, Annabel and Andy ponder the joys of brachycephalic dentistry. Trauma bonding brings us closer together, right?!

The team are all at the European Veterinary Dental Forum. This first pod features Alix and Annabel with two special guests.
