DENTISTRY
As your horse’s teeth will continually grow throughout their lifetime; dental care and maintenance is an essential requisite in prolonging their comfort and longevity.
​
There are a number of behavioural and clinical signs that may suggest your horse has dental disease/abnormalities, including but not limited too;
​
- Avoidance of certain foods
- Head tossing
- Aggression
- Reluctance to take the bit
- Inability to hold food in their mouth (quidding)
- Weight loss
- Excess salivation
- Dental odour
​
Routine and expert dental examinations and treatments by one of our veterinarians, may help mitigate some of the above and/or prevent them from occurring.
​
We offer the ability to perform dental treatments and examinations under sedation, ensuring your horse is comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.
