Fall is my favorite season for dentals! 🐴 🦷 🧚♀️
Because it’s not too hot, not too cold! All you need is a light jacket 😍
Has your horse been seen by his veterinarian for a dental exam this year?
Contrary to what you may think, equine dentistry is not just about “floating” teeth. Dental diseases can have an impact on the rest of your equine friend’s body and therefore all horses should have a veterinarian perform an oral and dental examination at least annually (or more frequently based on the needs of the individual horse.)
Remember: just because your horse is not showing any obvious symptoms of dental disease, it does not automatically mean that all is well with your animal's oral health. Horses simply adapt to their discomfort and most horses with dental problems will show no noticeable signs at all, until the disease is a serious source of pain and infection that can affect the animal’s overall health.
If your horse has yet to have his teeth checked this year, be sure to contact your horse doctor today to discuss a dental examination for your equine friend and prevent more painful and costly problems later!
