Regular dental maintenance is crucial to
sustaining your horse's health and
performance.
At SSEC we have a full range of dental
equipment including reciprocating and
rotary powered equipment plus hand tools
and a speculum for every size horse. Also
at the clinic the stock, designed by Dr.
Everman, has head supports to facilitate
dentistry. These make the procedures
more comfortable for the horse and much
easier for the owner and the veterinary
staff.
Of course, we still do a large amount of
dentistry in the field, but becuase of
weather, having all our equipment available
and the stocks, we suggest haul-ins for
dentistry whenever possible.
Many horses do not show evidence of
dental problems until they are well
advanced. By this time they are more
expensive to deal with and sometimes
cannot be completely corrected. For this
reason we suggest an oral/dental exam at
least once a year.
