Winter is fast approaching! Do your horse a favour and get them a dental to ensure they are in good shape going into the colder months. ☆

This little guy will be feeling much better after his dental. Good reminder that ponies need dentals just as much as a horses do!

Can you spot the wolf tooth? ✰
•
Wolf teeth are more commonly found in the upper jaw but they can appear in the lower jaw of some horses. This horse had 1 lower wolf tooth, which was extracted. As they can still cause discomfort and interfere with the bit. A complete dental exam is so important as little things like this can be missed!

The end product of a COMPLETE mouth balance! This mare should be feeling quite a bit of relief after her dental.

It is vital to your horses’ well being that they receive proper dental care, this includes the 3 point balance. Which means, equal pressure on the TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint), molars and incisors. What does this do for your horse? It means that the mouth is able to function naturally as it should.

Unfortunately, more often than not, new clients are often surprised when they see a practitioner work on the incisor teeth. But in order to do a correct job, and create a properly functioning mouth for your horse all practitioners need to strive for the 3 point balance!

Big Johnny, a gentle giant!
Johnny had some excessive rostral hooks and overlong incisors that were preventing him from grinding his feed properly. We were able to balance his mouth properly and give him molar contact - he should be feeling much better! Thanks for trusting me with this handsome guy. 🐴

Seeing double! 👀🦷

Did you know that the first (central) permanent incisors erupt at approximately 2.5 years of age? When eruption occurs the permanents should push out the deciduous teeth (baby teeth), these horses just needed a little help to get them out!

Notice how in second picture there is scrapes on the upper lip - that is from the deciduous teeth rubbing against the lip. Important that we were able to remove the teeth as it would have been causing some discomfort.

Saying goodbye to 2023! As I reflect on the year I am filled with gratitude, I would not be able to do what I love without the support of YOU. I have throughly enjoyed getting to know so many amazing people, and am blessed to have the opportunity to connect with very special 4 legged athletes. Thank you, thank you! Your support means so much. Can’t wait to see what 2024 holds. ✨💙
