Your horses teeth are continually growing and changing and therefore it si important to have their teeth checked at regular intervals. Dental problems can compromise a horses health and performance, therefore we recommend a dental exam at least once a year. Young horses can have problems wiith caps or impacted adult teeth. Older horses tend to have problems with loose teeth, excessive pressure on the incisors and periodontal disease. Abnormal dental wear can cause an abnormal dental pattern that will get progressively worse with time.

Signs to look for that indicate there is a dental problem include:

1. Quidding or dropping partially chewed food from the mouth

2. Excessive salivation

3. Weight loss

4. Resistance to the bit, bit chewing

5. Head tossing, refusal to stop

6. Tail wringing

Don't delay in having your horses teeth checked, We offer a full range of equine dentistry services and recognize common dental problems. We encourage the dental exam to be part of your routine annual exam in order to avoid health related problems, improve feed efficiency and encourage the longevity of your horse
