Amy, the equine dentist

My first rotation after Christmas break was an externship in equine dentistry with Dr. Banner, an equine veterinarian who has specialized as an equine dentist. It was a very educational and fun two weeks! Here's some pictures showing some of what I did while I was working with Dr. Banner. It's hard to describe how cool it is to see inside a horse's mouth. And the pictures don't do justice to how physically demanding a job like this is! I'm hitting the weight room after these two weeks!

Dr. Banner has a golf cart that he specially designed for his job as a dentist. The power tools, speculum, light source, and everything else is all at your fingertips on his handy-dandy cart!
