Frequently Asked Questions
Discover answers to common inquiries below
What does a horse dentist do?
A horse dentist (also known as an equine dental technician) performs dental exams and treatments such as teeth rasping, floating, and wolf tooth removal to ensure your horse can eat comfortably and perform well under saddle.
How often should my horse see a dentist?
Most horses should have a dental check-up every 6 to 12 months. Regular visits help prevent sharp edges, uneven wear, and dental problems that could affect eating and behaviour.
What are the signs my horse needs dental work?
Common signs include dropping feed, resisting the bit, head tossing, weight loss, and bad breath. If you notice any of these symptoms, book an equine dental appointment promptly.
What is horse teeth rasping?
Horse teeth rasping (also called floating) involves gently filing down sharp edges or uneven surfaces on a horse's teeth, improving comfort and chewing efficiency.
Why is mobile horse dentistry beneficial?
Mobile horse dentists offer on-site visits, reducing stress for the horse and making it easier for owners to schedule regular dental care without transporting the animal.
Do all horses need wolf tooth removal?
Not always. Wolf teeth are small, often problematic teeth located in front of the first cheek teeth. If they interfere with the bit or cause discomfort, removal is usually recommended.
Is sedation required for horse dental treatments?
Sedation may be used for safety and precision, especially if a horse is anxious or undergoing a more complex procedure like tooth extraction or extensive rasping.
Can dental issues affect my horse’s performance?
Yes. Dental pain can lead to resistance under saddle, difficulty accepting the bit, head shaking, and behavioural changes that hinder training and riding.
