Our equine dentist is coming this coming Monday. She is able to do 15 in one day here. $135. We have 4 spots available. If you want to schedule to get yours out here call me 864-621-5630. Horses need their teeth done every six months. Here’s why!! Horses that do not get regular dental care and floating can slowly develop a lot of problems — some mild at first, then eventually painful or even dangerous. A horse’s teeth continually erupt throughout much of its life, so uneven wear creates sharp points, hooks, waves, ramps, and other abnormalities.
Common problems you may see in horses that are overdue for floating include:
* Dropping feed or making “quids” (balls of hay)
* Weight loss or trouble keeping weight on
* Slow eating
* Choking episodes
* Bad breath
* Excessive salivation
* Grain coming out of the nose
* Head tossing
* Resistance to the bit
* Pulling, rearing, or acting “bad” under saddle
* Difficulty turning or bending
* One-sided stiffness
* Poll and jaw tension
* Ulcers inside the cheeks or tongue from sharp enamel points
* Colic risk from poorly chewed feed
* Poor digestion and nutrient absorption
* Behavioral changes from chronic mouth pain
A lot of people mistake dental pain for:
* training issues
* attitude problems
* lameness
* saddle fit problems
* “mare moodiness”
* refusing barrels/poles/trailers
* not wanting to stop or collect
