DENTAL HEALTH

Horses have a total of 44 teeth and they grow continuously until some time between the ages of 25 and 30. Most equine dentistry involves prevention. As the teeth age, they will grow unevenly with wear areas occurring in a variety of locations. Neglected teeth cause problems that can affect how well a horse can eat or take the bit. If your horse's teeth are regularly cared for, the maintenance process will not be overwhelming and you should be able to avoid most dental or health complications.

Depending on your horse's diet, hardness of teeth and jaw alignment, he/she may need floating on an annual basis or perhaps he/she could last years between floating. By keeping an eye on your horse's teeth, you can determine how quickly your horse's dental surfaces are changing and get them cared for before complications arise.
