Just a few dental disorders we’ve seen in the past several months!

Well worth a read. Unfortunately we have had a run of cases recently where we’ve been called in after someone unqualified or inexperienced has done the teeth and we have had to deliver bad news to owners.
Check the list on the link. If your previous dentist isn’t on there then keep your horse safe and find someone who is!

When was your little ones last dental?

Just because they are retired, companions, or “good doers” doesn’t mean they don’t need their teeth checked.

It’s common to underestimate the dental needs of these smaller equines, especially as some may be on restricted diets for weight management. Horses, ponies and donkeys all have the same amount of incisors and molars and that means these little guys are prone to many dental problems as they have such tiny heads to fit all those teeth in.

It’s so important that they are checked at least once if not twice per year to ensure they are free from any discomfort, detect early stages of disease, and to give them the best chance of having efficient chewing surfaces as they go into old age. Having hypsodont teeth means that the teeth continually erupt so will always be developing sharp enamel points and any overgrowths will become worse over time.

Don’t let them suffer in silence.
Together we can improve equine welfare.

Most of you guys know that we both hold our qualifications and keep up to date with any developments, research and changes. We’re always amazed though just how many new clients had no idea their previous practitioner wasn’t qualified or how to check.
This week is BHS dental awareness campaign, there’s lots of great resources and information available!

Would you use an unregistered dentist? Neither should your horse…

Did you know❓ There are only 2 professionals qualified to check your horses' teeth!

An Equine Vet or Equine Dental Technician registered to either the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians (BAEDT) or category 2 members of the Worldwide Association of Equine Dentists (WWAED).

Charlie gets his annual dental treatment outside! Just because he’s bombproof and it’s not raining!!

4 years ago we had a phone call from a very upset horse owner. She was worried about her horse who had stopped eating and had been loosing weight quickly. She had been told that her horse should be put to sleep by the previous dental care provider.
Seeing his photos, just a few days after our son Harry was born, Geraint made a special trip to go and see him. He had numerous painful dental issues which needed urgent attention.
Thanks to regular, proactive & proper dental care along with feeding advice (which his amazing owner still follows to the letter) we are so pleased so show his before and after photos. 4yrs ago and today….
Now he is happy, healthy and chunky enjoying his well earned retirement.

Can’t believe I’ve found another wedged stick in the same week!

This time the owner was on the ball and knew there was something wrong!

If your horse isn’t eating correctly or you smell a strong odour it’s always worth a looking in it’s mouth!

A massive thank you to the team at Fyrnwy equine veterinary clinic, especially Luanne, Tim and Gabi for nursing our foal back to health, although not completely back to normal yet, but we are happy to have her return home and continue her medication.

Happy new year to everyone! We hope you’ve all had a lovely break. We switched back on again yesterday and I’ve been tackling the backlog of messages on all platforms. I think I’ve replied to everyone now but if you haven’t heard back then please send your message again. I am able to reply to everyone instantly at the moment as I’m watching over this pile of new born lovelies whilst geraint is out in the cold doing the dentistry 😬😂

Unfortunately we have lots of outstanding invoices going back 12 months & longer. I’ve just spent a few hours sending out emails, please can everyone check their inboxes and respond ASAP!
Thank you 🙏🏼
