The World’s First Private Center for Continuing Education Courses in Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery
Over twenty years ago, in 2000, the Animal Dental Training Center (ADTC) became the world’s first permanent and dedicated private facility for continuing education in veterinary dentistry and oral surgery for veterinarians and technicians alike. Today, the center has held more than 400 classes and hosted 5000 participants world-wide, and remains the premier facility for those seeking unparalleled and comprehensive “hands-on” veterinary dental continuing education programs. All courses are specifically designed for general practitioners and technicians seeking to grow oral surgery & dentistry within their practices. For those seeking advanced growth, our Master’s-Level programs are rigorously crafted to teach the sophisticated skills needed to further specialize in these disciplines and make dentistry a primary clinical focus. Experience the difference that only an immediate practical application, highly individualized teaching, and expert critique can make in your learning and professional growth.

The ADTC Learning Advantage

State-Of-The-Art Facility
Up to fifty (50) individual high / low speed workstations, four (4) digital radiography stations, and advanced A/V capabilities throughout the facility. Spend more time engaged in learning instead of searching and sharing instruments or waiting to use the equipment.
Highly Personalized Training
Learning at the ADTC is focused around your individual success. Students work at their own pace at individual workstations using their own set of instruments. The low teacher-to-student ratio ensures participants receive the highly personalized attention they deserve while addressing any and all specific questions and needs.
Expert Level Instruction
All faculty members of the ADTC are Diplomates of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) or are in the credentialing process for board certification of the AVDC. They are selected not only for their technical merits, but their dedication to teaching and enthusiastically imparting knowledge to students.
Experiential Education
Intensive hands-on learning sessions and professional critique are just the start! Feel the energy that success brings as you personally connect with veterinary professionals from around the country (even world!) in a small cohort setting. Walk away with newfound skills that are immediately applicable in your everyday practice.
A Comprehensive Experience
Complete wet-lab materials, necessary tools & equipment, and all course handouts are provided on-site everyday. Participants earn CE credits from the State of Maryland and RACE accreditation for most courses. Each course also includes daily breakfast, snacks, and lunch in our spacious cafe lounge.
Holistic Learning Approach
The ADTC provides an “open forum” for discussion amongst both national and international participants about topics ranging from animal dentistry to practice management and marketing strategies. The information gained is both practical and can be easily implemented. The relaxed atmosphere is conducive to learning or simply renewing one’s passion for veterinary medicine.
Hands-On Wet Lab Programs in Veterinary Dentistry / Oral Surgery
The many veterinary dental programs offered through the ADTC are for all ability levels and include special “technician weekends”, exclusively feline programs, and continuing education courses in dental radiology, oral pathology, oral surgery, restorations, and endodontics for general practitioners and those veterinarians with a special interest in dentistry.
