Routine Dentistry

The greatest dentition changes take place between yearlings and five year olds. During this important developmental stage, horses are constantly cutting and shedding teeth. It is during this transitional period that we often expect a horse to be realising its full potential.

Generally horses should have a routine dental check up every six months. This includes removal of sharp Enamel Buccal & Lingual points & a thorough examination of the oral cavity and surrounding areas. preventing the sharp Enamel points causing trauma to the sensitive Buccal Mucosa or tongue, also for early identification of abnormalities, disease or injury.

 

Corrective Dentistry

Barring injury, the majority of dental problems start with something small and easily corrected. Many are caused by misaligned teeth, and uneven wear patterns, these promote the formation of focal overgrowths. Over a prolonged period, these overgrowths become large, impairing the natural chewing pattern and the three point balance between the Incisors, cheek teeth and Tempromandibular Joint. This can greatly affect both the riding and nutrition.
