Quality Dental Care for Your Horse
Proper dental care is essential to your horse's health - it will ensure your horse is more comfortable, utilizes feed more efficiently, performs better and may well live longer.
WHY DENTAL HEALTH IS SO IMPORTANT
Malocclusions cause inefficient chewing and tooth wear. Horses experiencing oral pain cannot perform optimally, and examinations every six to twelve months are recommended.
SIGNS A DENTAL CHECK-UP IS NEEDED
- Dropping feed
- Weight loss
- Head tossing while riding with a bit
- Not wanting to collect
- Dunking hay in the water
FULL RANGE OF SERVICES
Services include routine point removal, cap extraction, hook removal, ramp removal, ridge/wave correction, incisor procedures, bit seats, wolf teeth removal, molar extraction, and quality rasping. We use the latest equipment to minimize stress and discomfort to the horse.
BENEFITS OF EQUINE DENTISTRY
Weight Gain
Improved dental health allows horses to chew more efficiently and utilize their feed more effectively, leading to better nutrition and weight gain.
Improved Performance
Horses free from dental pain perform better under saddle and show improved responsiveness to rider cues and discipline demands.
Better Bit Acceptance
With dental problems resolved, horses accept and respond better to bit contact without resistance or behavioral issues.
Behavior Improvement
Relief from oral pain often results in calmer, more cooperative behavior both in the pasture and under saddle.
Enhanced Airflow
Proper dental alignment improves respiratory function and oxygen intake, supporting overall health and stamina.
Extended Lifespan
Quality mouth balancing through proper dentistry can potentially extend horse lifespan up to five years by promoting overall health.
