Learning Outcomes and Application | This Unit applies to a veterinary nurse working under supervision of a veterinarian in a veterinary clinic or similar practice. Dental prophylaxis involves the oral examination in the conscious and anaesthetised patient, sub- and supra-gingival tooth scaling and polishing and the subsequent development of a homecare plan. Veterinary dental nursing procedures are most often carried out on dogs, cats and horses. All procedures are carried out in conjunction with, and as an assistant to, the veterinary surgeon and in accordance with workplace health and safety requirements. In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all Units of Competency in the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirement for animals to be handled gently and calmly.
