These restorations are ageing better than we are! 🐴 4.5 years since we placed these infundibular fillings, and they are holding up beautifully - no material loss, no caries progression, and healthy pulps that have been protected from what could have become a very different story. The dark staining you can see in the dentin is the tell-tale sign of where the infection was heading when we intervened- straight for the vital pulp cavities. By catching it early and halting the progression, we can save a lot of teeth. "Every tooth matters"

Any guesses what the issue is here? Pop your answers below. Horses are incredibly stoic, this lovely horse wasn't showing any signs of an issue. Luckily for her she has a wonderful owner and we see her very regularly so we know this hasn't been there for very long but it is incredible what can be hiding in there.

Just shows the importance of a thorough oral examination- every horse, every year as you never know what can be hiding inside a horse that 'isn't having any issues'.

This lovely boy had some very severe and serious periodontal disease. When we first saw him 6 weeks ago, he had a fistula (hole between the mouth and the sinus) causing a sinus infection secondary to periodontal disease. He also had another periodontal pocket so deep that the periodontal probe didn't touch the bottom (>24mm), as well as multiple other 8/10/12mm deep periodontal pockets throughout. He had quite severe peripheral caries that had created a lot of gaps between his teeth as well as some significant overgrowths that were changing the forces on the teeth and also causing feed to become trapped between the teeth.

At the initial treatment we addressed the overgrowths, deviated teeth, very proactively treated the periodontal disease by removing ALL the rotten feed material, disinfecting the pockets, packing crushed antibiotics into the deep pockets of infection and then placing a Coe-Pak (human!) periodontal dressing over the gap between the teeth (as can be seen in this video) to stop the food from getting back in there.

Well at his recheck, the improvement was remarkable! He hasn't had any nasal discharge since the last appointment, the diastema that was causing the fistula, while originally it was small, now appears completely closed orally and the pocket that was 24mm was now 8mm deep! The other pocket that was deeper than the probe could reach now had pink, healthy gingiva and was also 8mm and there was significant improvment all around with most pockets having at least halved in depth in a single treatment. His dedicated owner has taken him off oaten hay and new cementum can be seen at the gumline so they are recovering from the peripheral caries and the almost daily mouth rinses have also made a huge difference.

Amazing what can be achieved treating periodontal disease if you give it a chance!

Not our typical patient in the crush 🤣 No dental performed but plenty of cuddles received from Meg and Dr Tory.

Did you know your horse’s teeth—both incisors and cheek teeth—are narrower at the root?

Because a horse’s teeth continuously erupt throughout life to compensate for constant wear (attrition), this shape eventually leads to the formation of diastemata (gaps between the teeth) as they age. These gaps can trap feed, leading to food packing (periodontal disease).

Can you spot the diastema forming next to the cupped-out teeth in these images—and the feed accumulation as a result?
