Equine Dentistry

When it comes to equine dental care, Horse owners may wonder how important is it for equine dental care. In fact, horses are not unlike humans in the way that dental care directly affects health and longevity of life. Technology has evolved over the past 100 years by offering new techniques and tools to help veterinarians get farther into the horse’s mouth. A horse’s mouth tissue functions as parts of a unit, so it is vital to clean and maintain healthy dental tissue.

Detailed oral horse examinations are an essential part of a horse’s overall checkup. A full-mouth speculum is a device used by vets to keep a horse’s mouth open during an examination. This tool today is lighter weight and allows the veterinarian to examine and understand the entire mouth of the horse thoroughly, therefore, diagnosing and treating issues more effectively.

Equine Digital Thermal Imaging

Digital thermal imaging is the use of heat-sensitive equipment to detect or provide an image of your animals muscle and tissue.

Thermal imaging is a new tool equine veterinarians can use to identify injuries and other sensitive areas that may not reveal the injury until weeks later. Think of equine thermal imaging as an x-ray machine into the tissue of the horse. This state of the art technology is helping reduce “masked injuries” that the horse may not fully display to the owner. With this, treatments and other treatment targeted plans can be administered by the veterinarian with optimal results.

For example, equine thermal imaging can help display back problems and pain, also problems beginning with tendons and ligaments. Being able to catch small issues before they progress is key to optimal recovery time.
