Why do teeth?

Most responsible horse owners understand the importance of regular dental care for their horses. Performance, comfort and well being are all dependant upon a properly functioning and comfortable set of teeth.

The teeth of a horse continue to grow during most of its life. The upper teeth are wider than the lower and when horses are not in the wild the teeth wear differently and the outside edges of the upper teeth and the inside edges of the lower teeth get very sharp. Other problems arise such as loose teeth, infected teeth and retained baby teeth.

Regular and prophylactic dental care ensures your horse’s teeth are maintained in proper order. Prevention is the key to long lasting good health.
