Providing preventative canine dental care and oral hygiene involves the application of safe methods and techniques to keep the mouth healthy and prevent deterioration that can result in significant health and welfare issues.

Preventative canine dental care and oral hygiene are not intended to substitute for essential regular assessment and treatment by a veterinary professional. The Veterinary Surgeons Act stipulates who is legally permitted to offer treatment to animals, including dental treatment. Learners will be assessed on the legal, ethical and professional roles and responsibilities, along with the scope of practice, for those who provide preventative dental care and the importance of dental assessment and treatment by veterinary professionals.
