The 40th Annual Veterinary Dental Forum is almost here, and if dentistry and oral surgery are part of your daily caseload, it is worth planning your visit now.
GerVetUSA will be there too, at Booth 405, with new dental surgical instruments, packs, and kits ready for you to handle in person.
Event Details: 40th Annual Veterinary Dental Forum
The 40th Annual Veterinary Dental Forum will take place from October 7 to 10, 2026, at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, 6677 Sea Harbor Dr, Orlando, FL 32821.
Founded in 1987, the Forum is the largest and longest-running meeting of its kind. It is hosted by the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry together with the American Veterinary Dental College, and it welcomes veterinarians, veterinary technicians, students, and practice staff who want to build their skills in veterinary dentistry.
The conference opens on Wednesday evening with a welcome reception. Lectures, hands-on labs, and the exhibit hall then run through Thursday and Friday, and the meeting wraps up on Saturday afternoon.
Attendees can earn up to 24 CE credits, which makes it an efficient way to meet your annual continuing education needs while working on the skills that matter most in your operatory.
The Forum moves to a new city every year, so regular attendees get a fresh location alongside the education. This year that means Orlando, with plenty of room to combine a full learning schedule with a little downtime.
One practical note for anyone who has not registered yet: online pre-registration closed on September 1, 2026, but walk-up registration is available on-site. You can find registration details, the schedule, and updates on the official website.
Agenda of 40th Annual Veterinary Dental Forum
Before you walk the exhibit hall, spend time with the conference agenda and the speaker list. The sessions you plan to attend tell you a lot about the instruments you should be looking at.
If your calendar is full of extraction sessions, pay close attention to elevators, extraction forceps, and luxation instruments, and note which techniques the speakers favor.
If you are booking labs on periodontal therapy, think about scalers, curettes, and probes, and how each one feels in the hand. If oral surgery is your focus, look closely at surgical scissors, tissue forceps, periosteal elevators, and needle holders.
Speakers often demonstrate specific instrument designs during labs, and seeing what they reach for is the best guide you can get. Take notes, then bring your questions to the exhibit floor, where you can compare options side by side.
Expo Details: What to Expect on the Exhibit Floor
The exhibit hall is where the forum turns from theory into practice. It brings together vendors from across the veterinary dental world, including manufacturers of instruments, dental equipment, imaging tools, consumables, dental materials, textbooks, and educational resources. The hall opens with a Grand Opening Reception, a relaxed setting to meet suppliers, catch up with colleagues, and see the latest products before the crowds build.
For veterinary professionals, the exhibit hall is a chance to compare products in person. Pick up an instrument, check its balance and tips, and ask about materials, finishes, maintenance, and warranties. Bring a list of instruments you want to replace or add, note your typical case mix, and leave time to revisit booths that catch your eye.

Made from German stainless steel, the instruments have round knurled handles for a secure grip and are reusable, corrosion resistant, and designed for repeated sterilization.
Dental Instruments Made for Your Practice
No two practices work in exactly the same way, and your instruments should reflect that. GerVetUSA offers customization so you can get tools and sets that match how you actually practice.
That can mean building a dental pack around the procedures you perform most, whether that is routine cleanings, extractions, or oral surgery. It can mean adjusting the contents of a kit so you are not paying for instruments you never use. It can also cover branding and marking options that help larger practices and hospital groups keep their sets organized and easy to identify.
Why Should You Buy From Us?
Because
We Not Only Sell But Also Manufacture Our Surgical Instruments
That single fact changes the experience of buying from us. When you purchase from a company that manufactures what it sells, you deal with the source, not a chain of middlemen. It means we can answer detailed questions about how an instrument is made, because we make it. And it is what makes real customization possible, since changes to a design or a set can be handled directly rather than passed through several hands.
Surgical and dental instruments are an investment, and you should expect them to perform through years of use and repeated sterilization cycles.
Plan Your Visit
The 40th Annual Veterinary Dental Forum is a chance to sharpen your skills and upgrade your toolkit in the same trip. Review the agenda, decide which sessions matter most to your work, and then come and meet the GerVetUSA Inc. team at Booth 405 to handle the instruments yourself. We look forward to meeting you in Orlando from October 7 to 10, 2026.
