Allegheny Equine Associates
Dental Care
Dental care is an integral part of an equine wellness program. Proper dental maintenance allows our horses to:
Maximize their ability to utilize their feed
Have a comfortable mouth when eating or being worked
Prevent premature expiration of teeth and maintenance of the grinding surfaces
What to Expect with Your Equine Dentistry Exam
Our veterinarians will perform a thorough oral exam and the necessary dental float to help maintain your horse’s oral health. If your horse is having problems with their mouth, further diagnostics such as radiographs and endoscopic exams can be performed to aid in identifying the issue. Advanced techniques such as cap, fragment, or tooth extractions can be performed as needed.
