Axial tooth rotation is a very common issue, and its seriousness and severity varies. It occurs in all breeds and in all sizes of patients. Early detection does help, as does the correct advice and management of this condition.
The most common reason for it to occur is overcrowding of teeth during tooth eruption leading to an altered pathway or eruption for one or more teeth. When this happens feed can become trapped around the affected tooth leading to periodontal disease ( gum disease ) and this is often the reason why many of these teeth end up needing to be extracted.

Righto, back to da Teef
Calculus is the visible layer that builds up on our teeth made up of food, bacteria and minerals from saliva ( phosphates and calcium ) once present it needs to be removed ( by a professional ) what many people are not aware of is that there’s another invisible layer on these teeth .. plaque
Now many of you have heard of plaque BUT did you realise that it is the invisible glue that builds up and attaches to the tooth surface? Without plaque.. there’s no Calculus
So. Let crack on
With da Teef
Equine Periodontal disease affects around 70% of your horses and ponies so ignore this if you want… but the plaque isn’t resting whilst you do

At least you know if we have to we can get to you quickly ;)
