Last week we did some dental work on a 20ish year old quarter horse. This horse has had dental work done by other practitioners over the last 5 years and most recently by a well known lay dentist (someone that is not a dvm, that does veterinary work without a license)
When Dr. Baird put this horse in the speculum and turned on his light what he saw in his mirror was severe hooks, over 1 inch long on the very back lower molars.

As you can see in this picture, with the phone placed inside the mouth it is next to impossible to see the back of the mouth, even with the speculum in place.

We bring this to your attention to point out that a proper dental exam requires 4 things:

Sedation: To allow for a complete and thorough exam.

Speculum: This opens the mouth and allows for the doctor to see the entire oral cavity.

Light: The oral cavity is a big, black hole. Without proper light, there is no way to see the entirety of the mouth.

Mirror: Allows for visualization of all surfaces of all teeth. Without a mirror it is impossible to see the entire oral cavity.

Without these 4 things, the exam is incomplete and just like the case above, things will be missed leaving the horse with serious issues that can complicate eating and make using a bridle or even a halter painful to the horse, creating bigger problens down the road.

A 1 inch over growth can not be corrected in one dental session because over floating can create heat and the possibility of opening a pulp chamber which will kill the tooth.

Dental exams are more than floating teeth. It is the knowledge of horse anatomy and expertise of proper technique.
