Performance dentistry includes examination of the head and evaluation of incisor and molar occlusion. Teeth are examined for abnormal wear and chewing pattern. A detailed, personalized record is maintained for each horse, describing historical problems and identification and correction of malocclusions.
The examination and corrections are done using a full mouth speculum. Full mouth speculums are essential for proper identification and treatment of dental problems.
Power tools are used for almost all dental procedures. Power tools enable work to be done quicker, easier and with less trauma to oral soft tissue. Also, patients spent less time with a speculum holding the mouth open.
Almost all horses are sedated. Sedation relaxes mastication muscles and facilitates dental procedures especially when major corrections are required. Sedation can be easily reversed when requested.
Payment is expected at time of service. Visa, Mastercard, cash and checks accepted.
