• serve as a communication channel for those inside the industry and as spokespersons for those outside the industry
• develop mutually beneficial relationships with associations within the equine dental field and the wider national and international equine industry
• work in conjunction and co-operation with members of the veterinary profession
• develop a graded accreditation scheme for equine dental practitioners
• provide sources of training and continuing professional development for all within the industry
• achieve recognition as a para-veterinary group
