Been grinding away at excelling my knowledge to better assist horses along my journey. I’m now a certified equine dental technician through the International Association of Equine Dentistry (IAED).

Recently, I came across this patient with shear mouth.

Shear mouth is the steep angles of the upper and lower molars with a table angle >45°. In contrast, a normal mouth should have a table angle around 15°. A normal mouth should also have a circular chewing rotation. Whereas this condition creates an up and down motion of the jaw. Horses who have shear mouth have decreased effectiveness of grinding which will lead to quidding and other issues. With routine dental floating this condition could have been prevented.

Had the most beautiful commute this weekend and two expired molars from 30+ y/o horses.

Miss Bee had a fractured molar that we found at our annual float. She has been enjoying the grass and put on some pounds but acted as if nothing was bothering her. Even if your horse is fat and happy what’s really going on in their mouth?

“Hanging” with my clients! 🤣

This is one of two methods that I use to support a sedated horse’s head. It has a quick release feature that in case of an emergency the horse can be separated from the mechanism without having to worry about injury.

A safe and comfortable environment for the horse and myself makes for a great experience.

Holy beans! This came out of an Arabian gelding.

After a dental is often a great time to clean your gelding’s sheath as they are coming off their sedation.

He’s feeling much more comfortable in his mouth and his sheath!
