About Me
Coming from a family who all rode horses, I was literally put on a horse as soon as I could sit up. I loved everything about the equine species, and so from a young age, I knew that I was destined to have a career working with horses.
I decided to attend Liverpool Vet School and train to become a vet. However, at the end of my 4th year of study, whilst on a break from university, I booked a local EDT to come and perform dental rasps on my own two horses, and I quickly decided this was the profession for me. I was so impressed with the improvement in my horses after being rasped by an EDT, that I contacted the EDT and he offered me an apprenticeship.
I graduated from Liverpool Vet School with a BSc in Animal Science and began working as an apprentice for Antony de Csernatony, of Progressive Horse Dentistry. After completing the apprenticeship, I set up as a sole trader as ‘Northern Horse Dentistry’ in 2011. To become further qualified, I am also currently completing the necessary requirements to be added to the BEVA list of EDTs.

Equine Information & Services
Horses are very good at masking dental pain and can be in agony without showing a single symptom. The best advice I can give you is if you aren’t sure if the horse has had a dental check in the last six months, get it checked as soon as possible.
Horses have between 36 and 44 teeth depending on varying factors. Every horse should have 12 incisors. Used for tearing grass from the ground.
Erupt as baby teeth (foal), later replaced by adult teeth.

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.
