Dentist Goes Animal: A Personal History of Modern Veterinary Dentistry

With patients ranging from an alcoholic woolly monkey to a 15,000 pound bull elephant, world-class dressage stallion, silverback gorilla, giant panda, and wounded eagle, Dr. Fagan’s unusual dental practice has been as exciting as it has been educational, and has placed him in the forefront of a much-needed area of clinical expertise. In “DENTIST Goes ANIMAL,” he shares a variety of his experiences with both man and beast, while presenting a lively and informative account of the advances in mammalian medicine in which he has played a key role, and which have placed him in the forefront of the demanding and still-developing clinical specialty of Veterinary Dentistry. Douglas Myers, CEO/Executive Director of San Diego Zoo Global, writes, "David Fagan, D.D.S., is a master storyteller... Dr. Fagan is like the conductor of an orchestra, with dozens of people working in unison to solve unique wildlife dental problems."
