Dentistry

Every horse should have a dental exam at least once a year. These exams are critical to ensuring any dental problems are identified early, and treated before they become a larger problem. Our veterinarians will perform a thorough dental exam, taking into account the overall health of your horse, and make recommendations regarding routine dental care and/or advanced dental treatment. Routine dental “floats” involve the use of a powerfloat to properly balance your horse’s mouth, not merely remove points.

Our approach is centered on preventive care, aiming to address dental issues before they escalate. Our veterinarians bring expertise in equine dentistry, ensuring a high standard of care for your horse. Utilization of modern tools, including powerfloats, for precise and effective dental care. We consider dental health within the context of your horse’s overall well-being, providing comprehensive care.
