Dental care is very important for maintaining your horse's performance and well-being.

Horses need to chew their food properly for good digestion and any dental problems that make the mouth sensitive will impede normal chewing action which will affect digestion.

Poor digestion can lead to problems such as weight loss and colic.

Dental pain also affects responsiveness to the pressure of the bit, causing problems with training and performance.

A dental check up is recommended once every 6 months for young horses and annually for older horses.
