Abstract
For successful development of veterinary dentistry in Russia, it is necessary to understand the background of the issue and the reasons of some acute problems faced by the modern public and private veterinary medical institutions in organisation of dental care for small domestic animals. The article aims to provide a brief overview of the history of veterinary dentistry in Russia and analyse the current state of the art in this sector. Among the main problems to be highlighted are the absence of the veterinary dentistry curricula in the sector-specific universities and the insufficiency of the normative documents regulating clinical activities.
