equine dental care

Equine dental care is important for maintaining a horse’s health, comfort and ability to eat effectively.

Horses’ teeth grow continuously, and uneven wear can lead to sharp points, which may cause pain, difficulty chewing and even digestive issues. Regular dental exams help identify these concerns early, allowing for corrective care like floating (filing down sharp edges) to improve the horse’s bite and oral comfort.

Routine dental care can also reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay, which can impact overall health. Professional equine dental services support a balanced, pain-free mouth and can contribute to better overall wellbeing.

scale & polish

A scale and polish is a common dental procedure that helps maintain pet oral health by removing plaque and tartar buildup.

Plaque accumulates naturally and, if not removed, hardens into tartar, which can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath. During a scale and polish, the vet carefully scales away tartar from teeth surfaces and along the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth the teeth, making it harder for plaque to reattach.

This process can not only improve oral hygiene but also reduce the risk of painful infections and other dental problems, supporting a pet’s overall health and comfort.

pet dental x-Rays

Pet dental X-rays are a diagnostic tool that can allow veterinarians to assess the health of teeth and surrounding structures beneath the gumline.

Often, issues such as tooth root infections, fractures and bone loss are not visible during a standard dental exam. Dental X-rays provide detailed images of each tooth’s root and surrounding bone, helping detect these hidden problems early.

By identifying issues beneath the surface, veterinarians can make informed decisions about extractions, treatments or preventive care.

Routine dental X-rays play an important role in comprehensive pet dental care, helping to ensure that any underlying issues are addressed promptly for long-term health.

damaged or infected tooth Extractions

Dental extractions are sometimes necessary to protect a pet’s overall health and help relieve pain caused by damaged or infected teeth.

Common reasons for extraction include severe tooth decay, fractures or advanced periodontal disease, which can lead to discomfort, infections and difficulty eating. The procedure involves removing the affected tooth under anaesthesia, aiming to reduce the risk of further infection or complications.

After extraction, pets usually experience relief, and their gums can heal quickly with proper care. Veterinary guidance on post-extraction care, such as soft foods and monitoring, helps ensure a smooth recovery.

Extractions support long-term oral health and overall wellbeing for pets.
