What is a Routine Dental Check?

 
 
 

This is an in-depth clinical examination of your horse’s mouth. Along with safe odontoplasty (floating and balancing the teeth), any abnormalities or developing disease will be diagnosed and treated. All results are kept on file for future reference, and they’ll also be emailed to you.

During a Routine Dental we also accurately record your horses weight, offer sheath cleaning and bean removal and bitting advice (bring along your bridle and bits to assess their fit).

Catching early signs is always the more affordable, logical and pain free option for your horse. We also work in cooperation with your regular vet to tackle problems.
