Checking a horse’s teeth is a crucial aspect of equine dentistry, which involves examining the oral cavity, teeth, and gums to assess their health and identify any potential issues.
Regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining a horse’s overall well-being, preventing discomfort, and ensuring optimal dental health. By examining the teeth, veterinarians can detect abnormalities, such as sharp edges, hooks, or dental disease, which can cause pain or interfere with a horse’s ability to eat and graze comfortably.
