Veterinary Dental Surgery, for the Use of Students, Practitioners and Stockmen (Classic Reprint)

It is owing to the scarcity of literature devoted to the principal operations of veterinary dentistry, and the belief that such a work will be favorably received by the veterinary profession at large, that the author attempts this volume. With an extended experience as a veterinary dentist, and scattering articles which have appeared upon the subject from time to time, the bringing together of these into a single volume cannot fail to be productive of good results, in the placing upon a scientific basis this most neglected division of veterinary surgery. It is designed for practical stockmen as well as for students and practitioners, hence technical terms have been avoided as much as possible. Scientific veterinary dentistry is yet in its infancy. While operations upon the teeth of horses have been performed for many years, the humane method of handling horses mouths and operating for diseases of that cavity has been confined to the last fifteen years. The author has drawn from various works, notably those of Williams, Percival, Owen, Chauveau, Clark and Parreidt. Also others which have received credit where the quotations appear.
