Bearded Dragons (Pogona vitticeps) are the most common reptile pet in the United States, and as such they are commonly presented to the reptile veterinarian for care.  Many clients want advanced care as they would for other pet species.  Periodontal disease is a unique condition that affects these animals (along with other reptiles with acrodont dentition).  Despite the fact that most practitioners routinely perform dental scaling and polishing on small animal patients, many are apprehensive about doing the same in reptiles.  This lab will teach participants how to overcome these reservations and become confident in performing dental procedures and other procedures involving the head of the bearded dragon.  Didactic lecture will instruct participants on how to perform these procedures, followed by spending the majority of the time in lab practicing these procedures on bearded dragon cadavers.  Participants will spend most of the time practicing dental scaling along with removal of necrotic bone. Additional procedures to be performed include hemimandibulectomy, gingival mass removal, enucleation, pharyngostomy tube placement, and tracheal wash. Additional clinical techniques may be performed if time allows.
