Dental Care
Essential dental treatments for horses of all ages.
Oral Health
Healthy Teeth, Healthy Horse
Dental care is a critical but often overlooked aspect of equine health. Horses' teeth continuously erupt throughout their lives, and without regular maintenance, sharp points, hooks, and other abnormalities can develop that cause pain, difficulty eating, and behavioral issues.
At Borders Equine, we recommend annual dental examinations for most horses, with more frequent checks for young horses (under 5) and senior horses. Our dental services include routine floating, comprehensive oral exams, and extractions when necessary.
Dr. Borders performs all dental procedures with sedation for the comfort and safety of your horse, using modern power and hand tools to achieve precise results. Good dental care improves feed utilization, enhances bit acceptance, and contributes to overall well-being.
Our Dental Services
Dental Floating
Routine filing of sharp enamel points to prevent oral pain, improve chewing efficiency, and maintain proper dental alignment.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Thorough oral examination using a full-mouth speculum and bright light to identify dental abnormalities, fractures, and disease.
Tooth Extractions
Removal of damaged, infected, or problematic teeth when necessary to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
