When should I have my horses teeth floated and why.
I know if i do not see my dentist regularly that bigger problems will arise. Your horses dental care is no different.The goal in Equine Dentistry is to catch problem before they become so obvious that it begins to effect your horses health.Its a misnomer that if your horses weight is good that its teeth are OK.This is a myth! horses can have severe dental problems and still be keeping good weight.
Here is a guide line on how often your horse should have us look at
its teeth.
During this period horses will shed 24 deciduous teeth and erupt up to 44 permanent teeth. Problems such as sharp enamel cingulae (points), impacted teeth, deciduous or baby teeth that fail to shed and early development of serious cheek teeth malocclusion's such as hooks, waves and ramps can be identified and treated through exams every 6 months.
It is also important during this time to ensure all horses have any source of oral pain properly detected and treated before beginning their training;
All adult teeth should now be present in the horse's mouth. The rate of wear begins to slow slightly as the teeth harden and most horses in light work on a mostly pasture based diet will need to be seen every 12 months.
Again in horses of this age group early detection of problems and removal of sharp cingulae (enamel points) is very important. Disease that affects the structures which support the tooth, the periodontal ligaments begin to occur and early detection and treatment is the only way to prevent premature loss of the tooth.
Some of the horses in this age group are beginning to have a decreased ability to maintain condition due to a decrease in the availability of nutrients across the gut wall; some will need increased dietary intake.
Common dental conditions account for about a thirty percent decrease in weight gains and proper care is vital to ensure these horses maintain conditions. Early detection of periodontal disease (disease of the structures that anchor the tooth in place) will prevent the premature loss of that tooth.Most horses in this age bracket require annual dental exams.
Dentally, this group of horses is beginning to reach the end of their reserve crown. They often have concurrent diseases that affect them such as cushings (hyper adrenocortiscism) and can have difficulty maintaining weight just like elderly people. So their diet and dental care and management of other diseases must be of the highest standard to ensure longevity.
