Full Mouth Float
A full mouth float, also known as equine dental care, is a crucial procedure for maintaining your horse's overall health and well-being. It involves the careful removal of sharp points and uneven surfaces on their teeth using specialized tools. Think of it as a tune-up for their chompers! This ensures smoother chewing, prevents discomfort, and improves their ability to process food efficiently. A full mouth float typically addresses both incisors and cheek teeth, addressing potential issues like hooks, ramps, and wave mouth, which can lead to weight loss, behavioral problems, and even colic. Imagine trying to eat with jagged edges on your teeth – not comfortable, right? The same goes for your horse! By performing a full mouth float regularly, you're investing in their long-term comfort, performance, and happiness.
Basic floats start at $100 per horse
While horse teeth are tough, sometimes a retained dental cap, also known as a "baby tooth cap," can cause problems. These temporary coverings meant to protect developing permanent teeth don't always shed naturally, leading to discomfort, difficulty chewing, and potential gum infections. Using specialized tools and sedation for your horse's comfort, the retained cap is gently lifted and removed, allowing the healthy adult tooth to emerge properly. This quick intervention alleviates any immediate issues and sets the stage for healthy chewing and future dental development. If you suspect your horse has a retained cap, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment – a swift removal can prevent future complications and get your horse back to enjoying their meals pain-free!
Cap removal is an additional $20
