Dentistry, drama free

Equipment matters! The fans were blowing way louder than the motor. I can’t say enough about the dynamic unit from Equine Blades Direct Ltd. The motor is quiet, the hand pieces don’t vibrate, and the horses tolerate the process better than ever.

I encourage all of my colleagues to check it out. The products and service are top quality ⭐️

Barn managers are the unsung heroes of the horse world. They can tell the difference between 10 plain bays from a mile away. They know the names, ages, feed requirements and quirks of each horse, and are always there to hold horses for the vet, farrier, or dentist when owners can’t make it.

Thank you, barn managers for being the best head holders, horse catchers, and assistants.

“What do you charge?”

Often the first question, and sometimes the only. I get it, cost is important.

I’m not the cheapest. It’s not that I can’t be, I won’t be.

To cut cost means to cut corners. It’s simple economics. You absolutely cannot do the same job for $60 or even $75 as you can for $100-$120 etc. I won’t skimp on equipment, continuing education, sanitization, charting, or quality. I won’t overload myself with more horses than my mind and body can happily do in a day to make extra funds and skimp on relationships with my clients and rushing from barn to barn.

I’m not the cheapest, but I stand behind everything I do. I answer your calls and texts at odd hours of the day and night. I age horses through photos, help you when you want to find one to buy, help you place ones you need to sell, and bend over backwards to make scheduling work.

I’ve had clients I’ve done a lot for as far as dentistry and outside of it leave me for other providers due to cost. It stings, but I simply won’t cut corners. I’ve had some try to guilt me or convince me to lower my prices. I’ve had others tell me I should be charging more.

Higher cost doesn’t ALWAYS equal higher quality, I get it. But lower cost NEVER does 😉

Friendly reminders/suggestions to keep you (and your dentists) happy!

⭐️ June and July are FULL. Life happens and there are occasionally reschedules so please reach out if necessary to see what we can do, but if you are looking for AUGUST dentals schedule now

⭐️ If we won’t be working inside of a barn please consider scheduling early morning appointments so we can beat the heat. Everyone will be happier!

⭐️Sedation is still required to be an option at every appointment in order to ensure that a thorough and complete job is done. If your horse stands statuesque for the dental I’m happy to work on them without it but sedation still MUST be on premises and able to be administered by the owner, barn manager, vet, or anyone qualified that is not us🙂

We have the best clients in the world. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for always being so patient, considerate and accommodating

A horse’s teeth will erupt about 1/8” per year. Since the upper jaw is wider than the lower, points develop on the cheek side of the upper teeth and the tongue side of the lowers

I often get asked to check if a horse “needs it” when the owner knows they haven’t been done in well over a year

Yes, yes they do

Lip melanomas are unfortunately common in many older (usually gray) or light pigmented horses. Although most are benign and not a direct threat to the horse’s health, they can become irritated by sharp points on the first upper and lower premolars as well as sharp or tall canine teeth.

Proper dentistry can help eliminate discomfort from your horse in so many ways.

Horses with balanced mouths free of sharp points or malocclusions will be more receptive to training, eat and digest their feed quicker and more effectively, and improve their overall health and comfort.

If they haven’t been seen by a qualified Equine Dental professional in over 12 monthe, YES they’re due
