Pankow “works closely with a lot of vets and each state (veterinary association) is working on making it a little clearer that veterinarians can continue to recommend (technicians). Horse people want quality care and people should feel it is all right to call the person who can do the job.”
Pankow left Maine in 1978 and first worked at northern Virginia and Maryland racetracks. He moved to the county in 1980 and began working primarily on hunters and show horses. Pankow operates a one-person office, relying on a computerized, cross-referenced database system that tracks clients, treatments, and billing.
He recommends that anyone interested in becoming an equine dental technician prepare with a university level background in equine animal science concentrating on equine anatomy and physiology. Then, talk to local veterinarians and certified equine dental technicians in the area to see if any are taking on apprentices. Pankow also advises that some short courses in schools are available and new specialized dental schools are opening around the country.
