This is your friendly reminder, to check when your horse last had a dental, as we all know life can get hectic and it can be easy to lose track of time before realizing they are overdue! 🗓️
Horses, ponies and donkeys are incredibly good at hiding dental pain and undiagnosed dental problems are a major welfare concern. Signs of discomfort often don't appear until the issue has become much more serious. That's why regular dental checks matter so much and although re-examination dates are dependant on your equines individual needs we generally recommend the following guidelines:
🦷 Young horses (2-8yrs): Every 6 months. They are shedding caps, erupting permanent teeth, and rapid eruption often causes sharp points, ulceration and bite abnormalities.
🦷 Adult horses: Typically every 12 months, though some benefit from every 6 months depending on their dental conformation and workload.
🦷 Senior horses (late teens +): Every 6 months. Aging can result in mobile and expiring teeth, periodontal disease, infundibular caries and other issues that require closer monitoring.
