22.01.2022 An "underbite" or "Monkey Mouth " as it commonly known as , is not seen very often in large breeds of horses but is quite common in miniture horses & smaller breeds. Just like an "overbite" or "Parrot Mouth",commonly seen more in larger breeds of horses , they will often develop "" Caudal hooks"(back molar ramps) and "Rostral Hooks" ( front molar ramps) and therefore require regular filing or maintainence to ensure a continued ability to "masticate" or "chew" his/her food properly & efficiently.

21.01.2022 Look carefully at my right hand thumb. This massive cut was caused from the first lower & first upper molars been extremely sharp. The bit generally has a nutcracker effect on the horses cheek and when pressure us applied to the rein, the bit pulls the sensitive cheeks over the first upper & lower molar region causing painful cuts and can cause many different problems with horses behavior eg, pulling, reefing the reins and evading the contact.

16.01.2022 Today I was privliged enough to assist Ascot surgeon Max Hall, remove these massive wolf teeth from a 2 year old racehorse at a top racing stable. You can see the exposed nerve sticking up (about 3/4 of the way along the tooth. As these teeth are situated were the bit sits they can cause considerable problems for riders when the bit comes in contact with them.

15.01.2022 Removing Wolf- Teeth from 2 year olds the "First " time they get there teeth done,that are then ridden ,is a lot safer than your dentist filing over the top of them, risking exposing the already shallow nerve. The bit coming in contact with an exposed nerve from a "filed over wolf tooth" can risk riders lives causing serious injury or death.

12.01.2022 Hi everyone, Adam Geldard here. Id like to share some basic information that my clients often ask me about Equine Dentistry so hope this helps. The image above shows the exact areas that should be filed by an equine dentist. Horses teeth grow and wear at the same rate and therefore when they chew their food with lateral excursion ( or sideways chewing motion) the outside edges of the top molars (top red line) and the inside edges of the bottom teeth (bottom red line) become ...very sharp. These molars are mostly associated with mastication (or chewing/grinding of food). The first upper and lower molars (circled on image) are also used for chewing and a vital key in a riders ability to hold and keep a consistent contact, collection and therefore a proper connection. These molars are naturally very sharp and so when pressure is applied to the reins the bit pulls the cheeks inwards to be in contact with these teeth and easily lacerate the inside of the cheeks causing common problems such as hanging, head flicking, pulling and reefing. A skilled and properly qualified equine dentist can precisely round and reshape these molars and riders can have drastic improvement in the way a horse travels and maintains contact, collection and therefore connection.

10.01.2022 Periodontal disease is common in horses over 19 years old. This molar was removed from a 27 year old school horse. The molar had become loose and infected and was causing problems for the horse masticating food. The molar was removed allowing the horse to be more comfortable.

04.01.2022 "Crock" having his teeth done. No sedation and minimal restraint is used to do 99% of horses teeth. The "gag", (mouth brace) is opened on no more than " 2" clicks on the ratchets. The "gag" is closed many times throughout an average dentistry procedure to ensure horses dont get a sore jaw. "Over Sedated" horses find it very difficult to tell humans this until the next visit when they are terrified! I rely on "" eyes and ears" to tell me how much pressure individual horses can take whist having there teeth filed.

03.01.2022 These are just a few of the different cases I come across day to day when Im filing teeth for horse owners. Please like my new Facebook page to keep up with the latest info on looking after your horses teeth.

02.01.2022 This is what typically happens with windsuckers over time

02.01.2022 This is "Coco" the 2 and a half year old donkey having his teeth done for the first time.

01.01.2022 The dark patch in this photo shows tartar build up on this horses bridle teeth/Canines or tushes as they are commonly called. These teeth are used for fighting and generally only found in male horses and occasionally females. If they are found in females they are very small. Horses Canines have very little use for chewing or masticating food , so become an area that tartar builds up over time. Removing the tartar build up on horses canine teeth is necessary to prevent periodontal disease and gingivitis.
