Horses of all ages should have a dental check at least once per year, as horses have teeth that continually grow throughout their lifetime! Signs that your horse may require dental attention include dropping feed, losing weight, head tossing, or being fussy with the bit when riding. Our veterinarians can evaluate your horse’s dental needs and provide appropriate treatment to keep your horse at peak health and performance.
