We can examine your horses teeth and provide routine dental care. Horse tooth care is a commonly overlooked part of routine health care. We can also do dental xrays and diagnose more serious problems that can be referred to an equine hospital for treatment. Every horse should have its’ teeth checked at least once a year. Your horse may have sharp enamel points and ulcerated cheeks and not give you any indication of a problem.
You may be suspicious of a problem if the horse tosses its head or displays other evasive behaviours when ridden. Tooth problems can result in a thin horse or even colic. If your horse drops a lot of feed when eating you can be sure it has a problem. Read more....
