Proper dental health is crucial for the overall well-being of your large animals, and at Willowcreek Animal Hospital, we provide advanced dental care tailored to meet these needs. Our services utilize state-of-the-art power dentistry equipment to perform comprehensive dental evaluations and treatments. Dental disease can be a source of pain to your horse. Horse’s teeth continuously erupt throughout most of their life, which can lead to the development of sharp points, hooks, and waves based on how they chew and break down feed. Because of this, horses require regular dental evaluation to prevent disorders such as irritation and ulceration of the soft tissues in the mouth, inability to properly chew feed material, dropping of feed, and weight loss. Yearly dental examinations are recommended for healthy adult horses. Horses with a history of dental problems or those that are older than 20 are recommended to have biannual dental examinations.
