Report
We are one of the few practices worldwide with the training, equipment and horse dentistry facilities to be able to provide more advanced dental procedures such as restorations ('fillings') and endodontics ('root canal' treatments). During every stage of the design and build of the facilities, safety and comfort for our patients were the highest considerations.

Routine Dental Maintenance
Report
The most important part of any routine dental maintenance appointment is a thorough examination. Many of the most painful conditions affecting our equine patients can only be seen, they can't be felt. This means a thorough oral examination using a powerful light, a mirror or endoscope, a full mouth speculum and a relaxed patient, are essential and allow us to pick up small problems and treat them before they become much more serious.
Advanced periodontal disease treatments
Report
Advanced Periodontal Disease is a very painful and very common condition in our equine patients where feed becomes stuck between the teeth and rots in there, causing a very painful infection. Left untreated it can progress to apical infection ('tooth root abscess'), sinus infections, bone loss and osteomyelitis (bone infections) as well as premature tooth loss so it is not something we want to ignore!
Incisor and Canine Restorations
Report
Just as with human teeth, horse teeth can suffer from caries or 'decay', particularly secondary to tooth fracture. If this decay progresses to affect the pulp cavity where the blood vessels and nerves are, it can lead to a very painful apical ('tooth root') infection. If these are picked up early we can often do a incisor and canine restoration or 'filling' to halt the progression of the decay and help prevent a painful infection.
