Equine dentistry is the specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the care and treatment of the teeth of horses. Equine dentists are responsible for diagnosing and treating a wide range of dental problems, from simple cavities to more complex issues like malocclusions and periodontal disease. They also perform routine dental care, such as cleanings and floating (filing down sharp points on the teeth).
Equine dentistry is an important part of horse care, as dental problems can lead to a number of health issues, including pain, weight loss, and colic. Regular dental care can help to prevent these problems and keep horses healthy and happy.
