    May 2 2024
    Dr. Amy Thomson joins us to explore non-anesthetic dentistry and client communication, tackling common fears about anesthesia and the importance of clear language in veterinary care. Learn from her expertise as she and Dr. Andy Roark discuss how to effectively manage cases like Nico, a Chihuahua with good teeth but bad breath on this week's episode of the Cone of Shame Veterinary Podcast. Don't miss these crucial insights that could transform your approach and elevate your practice. Let's get started, gang!

However, it was not always this way—she started her career in small animal practice with very minimal dentistry knowledge. She was fortunate to have a great mentor in her first job, where she learned a lot and her desire to learn more grew. Once she attended her first Veterinary Dental Forum in 2013, she KNEW dentistry was her passion—and became affectionately known as “Toothy Thomson.” With time and support from her family, friends, colleagues, and a big ‘shove’ from her mentor, she applied for a dentistry and oral surgery residency and was overjoyed when she matched at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During her residency, her passion grew not only for dentistry but also for teaching. And because life is always full of surprises, Dr. Thomson found herself at a crossroads in 2020 in the early stages of the pandemic—so she started her own mobile dentistry practice! In addition to working alongside small animal general practice teams, she also became very active online, sharing her knowledge. It has always been important for her to share as much as she can, given it took hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to obtain the knowledge she did while in general practice. Knowledge she wants to see all veterinary teams have!

These days he spends far too much time attempting to start a de novo practice in Fort Collins, CO, editing his upcoming book, or endlessly droning on about his podcast: The Greatest Profession.
