THE DENTAL CLINIC
Professional equine dentists often offer dental
examination and consultation free of charge if you then opt to have the horse
treated. We are committed to helping owners understand the nature of any
problems, and we encourage owners to participate in developing management plans
for horses with dental problems.
Equine dentists may work alone or in
conjunction with a veterinarian. You can expect to pay veterinarian's call fee,
fee for treatment, and cost of drugs administered if any. Charges are based on
type of work performed. Here are some possible services:
- Examination, evaluation and
consultation
- Educational demonstrations
- Remove wolf teeth
- Pull "caps" or expired baby
teeth
- Float (grind off sharp points)
- Cut and smooth canines, remove plaque
buildup from canines
- Performance floating (especially beneficial
to horses with high-performance careers)
- Incisor adjustment (shorten long incisors
or reshape incisors which have worn more on one side than the other, thus
unbalancing the mouth)
- Cut "hooks" from fore and aft
ends of cheek batteries
- Occlusal table adjustment (grind off uneven
"snaggle" teeth and re-shape grinding surfaces of cheek teeth)
- Tooth extraction
