Equine dentistry is an important step in improving your hors
e's comfort, prolonging his or her life, and improving utilization of feed. It is recommended that horses' teeth be checked every 6 months to a year, depending on age and other factors. Feed dropping, weight loss, abnormal head carriage, and even some behavioral issues and colic can be a result of dental issues. A routine dental float includes an oral exam, floating of sharp points, and a bit seat. Wolf teeth extractions and cap extractions can also be performed if needed. The Veterinarians at ECO are well educated in all aspects of equine dentistry, and we have Powerfloats available for more complicated dental cases.
