Dr. Ines Ott
Dr. Ines Ott studied veterinary medicine at Aristoteles University in Thessaloniki from 1983 to 1989 and received her doctorate from Julius Liebig University in Giessen in 1997. She has been running her own practice since 1994. She began working in veterinary dentistry in 1995. She completed her first seminars with Dr. Peter Fahrenkrug. From 1997 onwards, she focused on further training at ESAVS in Luxembourg and Halmstadt. In 2004, she became a founding member of the German Society for Veterinary Dentistry (DGT). In 2011, she obtained the additional qualification in dentistry and in 2012 she was appointed as the first female veterinary specialist in dentistry for small animals and pets. This was followed by the granting of further training authorization in the field of dentistry for small and domestic animals. From 2008 to 2021, she served on the board of the European Veterinary Dental Society (EVDS). The EVDS organizes the largest annual congress for veterinary dentistry (EVDF) in Europe and attaches great importance to international cooperation. From 2016 to 2018, she served as president of the EVDS. Since the fundamental renovation of her practice in 2015, Dr. Ott has been using her own computer tomograph to perform special dental and oral diagnoses on her patients. The smaller the animal, the more intensive the advantages of three-dimensional imaging for the patient and the practitioner. In 2016, Dr. Ott wrote a brochure entitled “10 Myths About Animal Dental Health.” This brochure sets the record straight on 10 misconceptions about animal dental health. The brochure is primarily aimed at pet owners, but is now also being requested by many veterinarians for patient information purposes. Since 2018, Dr. Ott has been editor-in-chief of the veterinary dentistry journal “VetDental,” which publishes information on veterinary dentistry for veterinarians. |
