WHAT is Equine Dentistry? It is the care of healthy teeth, as well as the treatment of unhealthy teeth. It involves the use of floats - either mechanical or power rasps to file down the teeth. Power equipment offers significant advantages over hand floats. Among these are: shorter duration of procedure, more precise floating, less trauma to soft tissues, less fatigue of the veterinarian.
WHEN should a horse be checked?A horse should be checked by the time they are two, earlier if they are getting ready to be worked. Wolf Teeth should be removed prior to training. Caps (baby teeth) may also need to be removed. Dental problems affect the way the horse takes a bit, and may create bad habits that are difficult to correct later. Adult horses should have their teeth checked every 6 to 12 months.
