Really enjoyed presenting along side Lesley Smith last night on โ€˜Bits, Bridles and Dentistryโ€™ at Aberdeen Riding Club for BHS Grampian.
Holly was a perfect demonstration pony who let me show off her pearly whites using the oroscope kindly lent by Ardene House Equine Vets.
I learnt a lot and it was great to be surrounded by a lovely group of people all passionate about improving our horsesโ€™ welfare ๐Ÿฅฐ

Gorgeous Dazzle had an interesting corner incisor that had erupted in 90 degrees rotated and completely flat against the jaw!
Mini Shetlands are often found to have slightly โ€˜differentโ€™ teeth coming in at all angles, and the rest of this wee guyโ€™s herd were hosting a variety of interesting teeth presentations!
Luckily no food was getting trapped around this tooth and it didnโ€™t appear to be causing any pain, so other than smoothing the edges so it didnโ€™t catch on the lips, we can just monitor this one ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you very much to everyone who has supported me over this time, and to all the lovely owners and equines that Iโ€™ve met.
Itโ€™s been a steep learning curve setting out on my own but have loved every minute.
Roll on year 3! ๐ŸŽ‰

It was now so short that the roots on their own werenโ€™t enough to hold the tooth in place and it needed very little encouragement to come out ๐Ÿฆท

This Shetland Pony appeared to be eating well, with no obvious signs of discomfort, so hadnโ€™t had his mouth checked for years. However, when the gag was put on, it was obvious to see that he has been suffering with large dental overgrowths digging into the soft tissues causing ulceration, as well as multiple diastemata (food trapping between the teeth) causing painful gum disease. As prey species, horses (especially more stoic native breeds) often donโ€™t show external signs of pain, and suffer in silence #nopaincheckagain

A pretty gruesome incisor I extracted today affected by EOTRH - showing both marked signs of Tooth Resorption (the big hole in the middle!) and Hypercemtosis (big bulbous end that should have been tapered)

Some huge blind wolf teeth extracted today! Blind wolf teeth sit underneath the skin where the bit lies, so when present (quite rare!), are often best extracted if the horse is ridden / driven in a bridle ๐Ÿบ
