What people are saying about Pawsitive Dental Education

Thanks so much for helping put together this wonderful CE event for us! I cannot stress enough how amazing this CE was. Dr. Carle is so knowledgeable and all the information she shared was so practical and useful! Together you guys renewed my love for dentistry and I’m so excited to do more extractions and use the tools that you guys have taught us. What you do is so important and I want to thank you personally for traveling around the US and teaching this much-needed skill to help veterinary professionals become better doctors and technicians. I know there are so many dental wet labs and CEs offered, but I truly feel this CE was better than any wet lab I could have gone to (and I’ve done the extraction wet lab at the Dental Forum!). To have dentistry professionals come into our clinic and review our equipment and instruments is so much more valuable than telling us what tools work best. You guys were able to tell us that we are sharping tools correctly but need to do it more frequently, that our iris scissors are too square and need to have sharp points, that our Monocryl needs to be reverse cutting, that we need better forceps and most importantly that we need luxators and better drills (I am looking forward to getting the long surgical drills and pear drill!).

My name is Vidi. 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 has revolutionized the ease of taking consistently high-quality dental images. She has developed a methodology that is relatively simple to understand, and allows students and experienced individuals to rapidly gain the expertise to produce excellent full-mouth radiographs. Our Vet Tech students, and entire instructional team, truly enjoy her upbeat and positive approach. In a few hours, students gain confidence in initiating dental radiography, knowing they have the tools to quickly improve the quality of patient dental care. Benita’s educational session empower technicians, positively impact practice economics, as well as improves the quality of patient care.

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!.

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.

I feel so much more confident in taking dental radiographs. I know I can troubleshoot if the rad doesn’t look how I want.
