Routine dental care is an important part of your horse's overall health and well-being. Regular thorough oral exams help identify developing problems before they become painful or affect your horse's ability to eat, perform, or maintain weight.

Horse teeth are unique in the fact that they erupt continuously over time so routine examinations allow us to identify and address conditions before they become more serious.

Early detection and treatment can help maintain your horse's comfort, support proper chewing, and promote long-term oral health.

How Often Should My Horse Have a Dental Examination?

Every horse has different dental needs, but general recommendations include:

Foals and young horses: More frequent examinations while permanent teeth are erupting.

Adult horses: Annual dental examinations are appropriate for many horses.

Senior horses: May usually be put on a bi annual or tri annual visit for more frequent monitoring because of age-related dental changes.

When we meet your horse we will recommend a schedule that suits your individual horses needs.
