Why does my horse need an equine dentist?

It is important to have regular dental checks for your horse to maximise the potential of their teeth. The optimal length of time between dental examinsation is approximately every 8 months to stay on top of any irregularities and every 6 months for performance horses or horses under 5 years of age.

About My Equine Dentistry Work

I have a very calm, patient manner with horses which enables me to treat the majority of cases unsedated. Each examination will take around an hour allowing for a thorough external and internal assessment. I provide a dental chart for each horse with a record of treatment.
