Have you noticed a difference in your equine recently?

Have they had their wolf teeth checked?

Wolf tooth extraction is an important procedure in equine dentistry - Here’s why it’s often done:

1. Preventing Bit Interference
🦷 Wolf teeth (small, vestigial premolars just in front of the first cheek teeth) can interfere with the bit.
🦷 When a bit presses on the wolf tooth or the gum around it, it can cause discomfort or pain, leading to:
🦷 Head tossing
🦷 Resistance to the bit
🦷 Poor performance

2. Avoiding Pain and Behavioral Issues
🦷 Some wolf teeth are loose, misaligned, or blind (erupted beneath the gum), which can be especially painful.
🦷 Horses may develop behavioral problems as a response to this pain.

3. Facilitating Dental Balance
🦷 Removing wolf teeth can make future dental maintenance and bit fitting easier.
🦷 It helps ensure even contact and function across the mouth.

4. Common in Young Horses
🦷 Extraction is often performed before or during initial training, particularly for racehorses or other performance animals.
