The BAEDT was founded in 2001
The BAEDT is an organisation for qualified professional Equine Dental Technicians, promoting the professional training of technicians and to provide greater understanding of the need for equine dentistry to the general public.
Veterinarians and practicsing EDT’s realised there was a great need of having a recognised examination and code of conduct for those who wished to look at horses teeth. This was to give the horse owning public and vets a list of people who have been rigorously examined by The British Veterinary Association and the British Veterinary Dental Association, and have agreed to abide by performance guidelines and are also fully insured.
