Equine Dentistry
Dental examination and treatment in the horse is an important part of any routine health care programme. The majority of routine dentistry and some minor surgery, such as removal of wolf teeth or ‘caps’, can be performed at your premises by a member of our team.
We care about minimizing stress for both patient and owner. Our vets can administer intravenous sedation and painkillers along with nerve-blocking techniques ensuring a safe, pain-free environment. Additional diagnostic services such as dental radiography can also be performed at the yard.
Oral examination should be performed every 6-12 months depending on age, dental history and oral conformation. Combining routine dentistry with vaccinations is a good way of maintaining optimum oral health in your horse.
