Wolf teeth!!

Wolf teeth are usually found on the upper jaw positioned in front of the first molars (06s), and less commonly on the lower jaw, they typically erupt after 6 months of age and are vestigial remnants meaning they no longer serve a functional purpose.

Their shape, size, and root length can varv widely and are found in both males and females.

Wolf teeth come in a variety of sizes - some are tiny, some are large, and some are unerupted' (blind wolf teeth). Whether or not wolf teeth cause discomfort has long been debated. It is thought they can sometimes interfere with the bridle, causing a horse discomfort. Since extraction is relatively safe and simple, many owners opt for removal during routine dental procedures, especially before starting a young horse under saddle.

Even though your broodmare isn’t in active work, regular dental treatments are still an important part of their welfare. Regular routine treatments will ensure they are comfortable, identify any dental problems early, and avoid any other potential dental problems in the future, this will allow efficient mastication and therefore ensure they receive adequate nutrition.

Broodmares are often overlooked, but it’s important to prioritise their dental care when it’s safe to do so. Waiting for dental problems to arise may lead to problems becoming more difficult to manage.

Don’t let your broodmares be forgotten, make sure you schedule their dental checks regularly with a BAEDT member!
