Dentistry & Evaluations Did you know that horses should have an oral
examination every year? Proper dental maintenance is essential to allow peak
performance and harmony between the horse and rider. Thorough dental care can:
prevent premature tooth loss and promote more complete utilization of feed and
reduce the incidence of impaction and gas colic, alleviate tempormandibular
joint pain. Equine dentistry will allow a less stressful eruption of the
permanent teeth by the timely removal of shedding deciduous teeth (caps),
prevent pain due to the use of a bit, making it easier for the horse to be
trained, and to provide other benefits.
