Equine Dental Care and Conditions The Best For Your HorseDentistry is much more than filing down sharp points on the teeth. A good equine dental practitioner must be able to recognize not only the big things, but also the minute details that may indicate some other problem. This is the foundation of Natural Balance Dentistry.  Causes of Dental ProblemsMany factors influence dental pathology such as age, feed, the natural cycle of tooth growth and wear, congenital problems, breed and trauma to name a few. Unfortunately another major factor is improper maintenance and aggressive structural changes made by power floating. Routine Care And MaintenanceDentistry is often the most overlooked health practice we can provide for our horses. A common misconception is that if a horse is not showing any of the outward symptoms, it does not require dentistry. Yet it can be the simplest, and most affordable step to improve health, maintain well being and even extend life. On the other hand, poorly done or neglected equine dentistry contributes to pain, lameness, poor nutrition and leads to neurological imbalance with a host of negative ramifications. Every horse deserves a complete dental exam on a regular basis. Most equine dentistry involves prevention. If your horse's teeth are regularly cared for, the maintenance process will not be overwhelming and you should be able to avoid most dental or health complications. Each horse is an individual, and Natural Balance Dentistry considers the whole horse and all of its environmental factors in developing a maintenance plan.  Symptoms of Dental Problems
The view of Natural Balance Dentistry is that these aggressive methods of reshaping the pathology are excessive, stressful and unnecessary. Their use can be counter productive, and can mask the real underlying problems. Look how un-natural the horses head is and how can the power floater know how much tooth was removed. As well as how hot the power float gets while grinding away the surface/crown of the tooth. That is if the horse has any crown left after power floating is done. The power float can cause a smooth surface like an outer glass affect to the tooth leaving the horse to chew with rubber hose like surfaces. The Horse is a herbivore which mean they need cutting edges to cut and grind there bolus. Think about you going to the dentist and having water cooled and air cooled instruments being used in your mouth then think of the horse whom just has a power float running at so many RPMs that isn't air cooled or water cooled. Thermal damage can happen. Remember if over adjustment is made it takes years for the tooth to gain eruption again. There is no quick fixing/balancing your horses mouth until the horse gets tooth to work with again. This can take years sometimes.  |
