Horses’ teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. As they chew hay, grass, and even grit from the ground, the grinding surfaces naturally wear down. When this wear becomes uneven, it can cause sharp points, hooks, waves, and other malocclusions that lead to discomfort, behavior issues, and even long-term damage.
Left unaddressed, dental issues can cause:
At Sulphur River Veterinary Clinic, we focus on balance and comfort. During every dental float, we evaluate the full mouth—including molars, incisors, canines, and any wolf teeth present.
We use motorized floats for precision and comfort, always working conservatively to preserve natural grinding surfaces while correcting imbalances. If needed, we’ll adjust the incisors, reduce canine edges, and extract wolf teeth to improve bit acceptance and alignment.
Our goal: a pain-free, functional bite that supports performance, digestion, and long-term health.
