Dentistry for the Young horse:
Does my youngster really need its teeth floated??
It’s a common misconception that equine dentistry isn’t required for a horse until they have reached a certain age, are loosing weight or dropping feed. The truth is, so many changes occur in a young horses mouth in such a few short years! Ensuring proper balance and removing of sharp points will decrease chances of behavior issues in their beginning stages of training such as resistance to bending and seeking contact and bit aversion. Removing any deciduous caps (or “baby teeth”) as they loosen will reduce the amount of discomfort for your young horse as they are learning their foundational training.
Follow along on this slide show to see all the places of concern for this youngster. Not only did he have a molar cap in need of removal, but sharp points towards the back of his mouth were creating dark ulcerations along his cheek. He also had a broken cap fragment wedged between two premolars on the bottom right side of his mouth. Imagine a full popcorn kernel stuck between your teeth!
No wolf teeth were present in this young gelding, but stay tuned for further discussion on removal of wolf teeth!
