A few of the most frequently asked questions about the practice of Equine Dentistry are detailed below:

What are the signs that my horse needs dental attention?
  • Your horse starts to change their eating habits.
  • The horse may dribble feed, wash feed in the water bucket, hold the head to the side or not eat at all.
  • It's breath might be unpleasant and may have a swollen face.
  • The horse may roll the hay into a ball and drop it on the ground, this is quidding.
How often does my horse or pony need dental check ups?
Dental care should start as a yearling to remove sharp edges and identify any future problems. After the first visit your Equine Dental Technician will recommend a dental maintenance plan of either 6 monthly or 9 monthly your EDT will advise you accordingly.

Why do Equines' teeth become sharp?

The upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and they eat in a circular motion. This can lead to sharp edges on the outside of the upper cheek teeth and the inside edges of the lower cheek teeth.Horses diets have changed over the years and can lead to dental problems.
