Scotia Equine Dental

Scotia Equine Dental Equine Dentistry services, starting in 2003 as my full time profession. based in Maine. They examined 100 horses of various ages. That's quite a list!
(46)

Are you aware of what sort of difficulties your horse may be dealing with? A veterinarian and an equine dentist in the UK teamed up a while back to do a survey of horse's mouths. Here are some of their findings… All 100 of the horses had sharp points on their molars.

33 had restricted jaw movement.

37 had various forms of sharp hooks on their molars.

10 had one or more wolf teeth.

5 had loose

teeth.

3 were missing molars. Notice the very first finding. All 100 horses had sharp points and edges on their molars. Every time these horses went to eat they had to deal with those sharp points. Let's try to put this into a human context. This would be something like you trying to eat an apple with thumbtacks in your mouth. Chew carefully!!

Hi, just a couple of announcements, I am in Maine and am seeing horses. If you've tried contacting to schedule and haven't gotten a response please try again, I am very busy at the moment. If you are contacting me to schedule dental please direct message me through this page, rather than commenting on a post. And lastly due to the rising costs of everything I am increasing my charges to $80 per horse for yearly and $70 per horse for 6-months starting may 15th. I will consider discounts for a large number of horses, and of course if this increase poses a financial issue for you please talk to me about it and we can find a solution so that your horses can still be seen. Thank you

Goodmorning, I just wanted to give an update for all my clients and friends. I have many people asking if I'm still doing dental care, yes I am, however I have been very busy, not only with work but also in my non-work life. I also want to let everyone know that I have been finding it increasingly difficult for to work in the cold of winter in Maine, so this year I will not be working in New England between mid-december and the first of April. I apologize for any inconvenience this may create. I will do my best to get to everyone that i can that needs to see me before than. Please be patient, and don't hesitate to be persistent.Thank you all so very much 😊

Merry Christmas! If you asked for a pony for Christmas, Santa delivered him here 😁

Regular dental visits avoid this. Some people think yearly visits aren't necessary....

This type of huge lingual spike/step could cause a rupture of the palatine artery, causing potentially fatal blood loss! Note the deep palatine wound. HORSES NEED YOUR HELP - KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK... THANKS, DR. HYDE

The Feet/ Teeth Connection: Q&A with Dr. Tomas Teskey - The Naturally Healthy Horse

This interview sums up what we have found over time as well. Incisors are vital to address, but most horses are not as willing to have them worked on as their molars... This means sedation is often helpful. Since we believe that sedation is best left in the hands of the owner and or veterinarian this often means needing a vet to be there to sedate...

In this Q&A, Dr. Tomas Teskey, DVM shares his observations about the connection between horses' feet and teeth.

Congratulations to Kristene Aubin on her choice of a new business name. We are so proud of her as she makes the leap into deepening her offerings as an equine dentist. Please visit her at her page Whole Horse Dentistry-Kristene Aubin. She feels this name better reflects what she is seeking to foster in her practice, and we agree. We look forward to continuing the relationship we have had with her since she chose to learn this trade. She will still be travelling with Steve at times and both Steve and she will always put their clients' horses first by suggesting if one or the other of them is felt to be better suited to the needs.

This guy was seen in March. He had been seen by 2 other professionals last fall whom had done work including identifying gum issues. The owner was dismayed at how he continued to lose weight and require large amounts of mash just to maintain as hay was nearly impossible for him to chew. Steve found his ability to grind food with his molars significantly compromised due to incisors that had developed a slant that prevented his molars from meeting. Major imbalance.

We are passionate about helping horse owners deepen their understanding of what happens in their horses' mouths. We love helping people get to those "AHA" moments and how that benefits the animals in their care. Here with Jon Douglas

We've just scheduled the annual visit to Arizona! A bit late this year due to this winter's relentless pressures :( Steve will be seeing horses while there 5/3-5/10. If you have horses in AZ or have friends with horses in AZ we'd love to visit them too!!

Big excitement coming this weekend! Steve is going to the Gray Animal farm this Sunday to help the moose. Apparently he may be having an issue with a tooth. We'll definitely be taking pics and video!!
