What Professionals Are Saying About Benita
I attended your CE event on Feb 13th, 2022. I wanted to thank you for all the great information and training I received. I was able to complete my first dental today!! It went amazing!! I felt so prepared and my dental radiographs went so quickly, I used your techniques and the laminated sheets. The laminated sheets are such an incredible tool and are now my bible for dentals. Thank you again for giving me a great foundation and the confidence to begin improving my skills.
Benita teaches a hands-on dental radiology positioning lab for our 2nd-year Veterinary Technician students. Her labs are interactive, effectual, and innovative. Participation in Benita’s labs builds our students’ skills and confidence, preparing them for future work. Benita also serves as an excellent professional example as a VTS and in her unique role as an educator. I highly recommend Benita!.
I feel so much more confident in taking dental radiographs. I know I can troubleshoot if the rad doesn’t look how I want.
Mariah Pethick (Coronado Veterinary Clinic, Sierra Vista AZ.)
Ms. Benita was very informative and the hands on training made it easier to understand how to take dental radiographs appropriately, how to troubleshoot mistakes and the importance of dental radiographs and dentistry. She was very engaging which kept my attention.
Jennifer Durham (Coronado Veterinary Clinic, Sierra Vista AZ
I was somewhat confident in my prophylaxis skills but I wanted a guiding hand to ensure that I’m still doing what’s best for my patients. After this course I feel much better, and I have new tricks and info to take home.
Small class size with hands-on training was beneficial. Having an opportunity to ask my specific dental questions. The content of the course was very practical and extremely helpful. This was an incredibly valuable course and helped me become more confident in my skills!
Dr. Cassie Lothery DVM
Great experience. Learned new techniques to obtain radiographs. Answered all questions.
Melissa Campfield
A big shout out to all instructors and facilitators. This is so far the best dental education I attend. All the instructors are down to the earth, and they take the best care of you in every aspect so I fulfilled my dentistry learning goals. I won’t worry any retained roots during extraction anymore!
Dr. Jimmy YuDVM
The lecture set up and facility were great. The small attendee to lecture ratio meant there was plenty of time for questions, and hands on learning. The material was all very applicable to every day practice whether in a GP setting or specialist setting. A lot of the topics of CE were applicable to any VTS mentees as well at an affordable price. Both instructors were easy to talk with and very willing to trach/help. I will definitely be looking for more lecture/training opportunities from Pawsitive Dental Education!
