Expert Care for Your Horse’s Oral Health

A subheading about dentistry services

Maintaining proper and consistent dental care for your horse is crucial for ensuring optimal health and performance. Equine Surgical Center at ThorSport Farm is dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of equine dentistry services, from routine procedures in the field to advanced treatments at our facility.

The frequency of dental care needed for each horse may vary based on factors such as age, diet, and activity level, but on average, horses should receive dental care annually. A thorough oral examination is a key component of dental care, during which each tooth is checked for sharp enamel points that may require floating. Additionally, the mouth is inspected for signs of disease or abnormalities that could be causing discomfort.

Our veterinarians utilize state-of-the-art surgical techniques and equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for your horse. Our power dental instruments are equipped with water irrigation and suction to prevent thermal damage and enhance precision. We also offer digital radiography services for on-the-farm dental radiographs, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of complex dental issues.

Symptoms of dental problems in horses can range from performance issues to difficulty chewing or drooling. By providing your horse with regular dental care, you can help prevent discomfort, pain, and potential health issues related to dental problems.
