What to Expect at Your Equine Dental Appointment 🗓️

Requirements:
💦 Clean water to fill a stainless steel bucket and for cleanup purposes

🚙 Easy access to the workspace, as transporting equipment can be challenging

🐴 Horses must be caught and ready, emphasizing the importance of this requirement

☀️ A dry area, such as a run-in, barn, or stall, is necessary; if working outside during hot months, please schedule an early morning appointment. In the absence of a covered area, please notify us in advance on rainy or snowy days.

Procedure:
Examination: Each horse will undergo an examination for lateral movement, outward signs of concern, facial swelling, TMJ tenderness, and other potential issues.

A light sedation will be administered to facilitate a thorough examination and balancing of the horse’s mouth.

The mouth will be rinsed.

Owners are welcome to observe and feel the teeth (with the speculum on and a bright light).

The teeth will be corrected for malocclusions and balanced using motorized equipment.

Lateral movement, occlusion, and other factors will be assessed.

A comprehensive digital dental chart will be completed for each horse and emailed to the owner for their records, along with a receipt.

The horse should have a safe, level area away from hills, mud, and hay to rest while recovering from sedation.

Exams and equilibration are recommended every 6-12 months, depending on age, diet, lifestyle, and specific needs.

Payment is due at the time of service and can be made by cash, cheque, or e-transfer.

Wolf teeth can be found in various shapes and sizes. To ensure the comfort and well-being of young horses, it is vital to remove these teeth before introducing a bit. Failure to do so may result in discomfort and potential complications, including tooth fractures, which can make removal more complicated.

Recently, I have come across several instances of wolf teeth in older equines that had undergone dental treatments within the past year or two. These horses experienced difficulties with the bit and sensitivities to it. The removal of the wolf teeth yielded improved comfort and rideability for these horses.

Yesterday was “get your horses teeth checked day”. If you don’t think this is important, you shouldn’t own a horse. It’s as simple as that….
Springtime dental’s are done on my young horses checking to make sure caps are coming off and permanent teeth are coming in straight, old horses that need twice yearly maintenance and especially mares before breeding.
True story- I have one young filly that is turning five. She has had 5 dental procedures since the age of 3. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t be alive as her mouth has been a horse owners nightmare. She possessed caps from hell that weren’t coming off on their own. I was hoping that last falls dental work was the fix but nope.. she had a nasty cap that wasn’t coming off and rooted tight putting her permanent teeth at risk coming in.

The senior horses are no different than us as we age. Age will take its toll on teeth and it’s hard enough getting old so make it a little easier on these old souls and give them the comfort they deserve. And most importantly find yourself a good Equine dentist. We have some great ones here in Saskatchewan and April Berukoff and Leo Tournier are among the best.
