SERVICES All horses benefit from having their teeth examined and rasped regularly. Horses between the ages of 2 years 6 months and 7 years old often need dentistry twice a year. Older horses will also often need more regular dental examinations. The vet will assess your horse’s teeth and recommend either a six monthly or yearly routine examination. If your horse is intolerant with the examination the vet can give some sedation to make the experience more comfortable and enable the examination to be accurate and thorough. Dental problems such as wolf teeth, milk teeth or loose (cheek teeth) can often be dealt with at your yard. More challenging dental problems can come to the Clinic where we have state of the art motorised equipment at our disposal. All our vets are trained in advanced dentistry but we also have the benefit of consultancy services provided by world renowned equine dental specialist Professor Gordon Baker.
