Ridden or not every horse needs their teeth treating at least once a year 🙌🏻🐴🦷

Even though your broodmare isn’t in active work, regular dental treatments are still an important part of their welfare. Regular routine treatments will ensure they are comfortable, identify any dental problems early, and avoid any other potential dental problems in the future, this will allow efficient mastication and therefore ensure they receive adequate nutrition.

Broodmares are often overlooked, but it’s important to prioritise their dental care when it’s safe to do so. Waiting for dental problems to arise may lead to problems becoming more difficult to manage.

Don’t let your broodmares be forgotten, make sure you schedule their dental checks regularly with a BAEDT member!

To sedate or not to sedate

The question of sedation for routine equine dental procedures is one that often sparks discussion, and for good reason. Every horse is an individual, and ensuring their safety, comfort, and welfare during dental work is always the priority.

With the advancements in modern equipment, routine equine dental care has become far more precise and thorough than ever before. Many horses are able to comfortably tolerate comprehensive dental examinations and treatment without sedation, particularly when handled by skilled and experienced practitioners. BAEDT members are highly proficient not only in their dental work but also in equine behaviour and handling, allowing them to work calmly and effectively in a wide range of situations. Our members work day in, day out with unsedated horses, where horsemanship, patience, and handling skills are fundamental to carrying out thorough and precise treatments.

It’s also important to understand that carrying out a routine dental on an unsedated horse requires a different set of skills compared to working on a sedated horse. The ability to assess, reassure, and work with a horse that is fully conscious is a testament to the horsemanship, experience, and sensitivity our members bring to their work.

That said, sedation absolutely has its place, and for some horses sedation is essential to ensure dental procedures are carried out safely and thoroughly. There are a number of reasons why horses may require sedation for dental treatments, including if the horse is in pain, if they are anxious and their behaviour. BAEDT members are able to recognise when sedation is in the horse’s best interest and will always discuss with the owner and their vet to determine the most appropriate course of action.

All BAEDT members undergo rigorous training and examinations to ensure they meet the highest standards of equine dental care. With dental mirrors, high-quality head lights, and dental picks and probes, our members can carry out detailed examinations. When issues are identified that require further investigation or referral, members hold strong working relationships with equine veterinary surgeons and dental referral specialists, ensuring your horse has access to the level of care they need.

We’re proud to have 21 veterinary surgeons among our membership who have completed the BEVA/BVDA examination, further expanding their knowledge, expertise and are dedicated to providing the highest standards of equine dental care.

Ultimately, whether a horse requires sedation should be a case-by-case decision, based on their individual temperament, comfort, and the dental work required. With BAEDT members, owners can feel confident they are in skilled, compassionate, and highly trained hands.

Very important! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Unfortunately, this is something we hear all too often. It’s important to understand that horses are incredibly stoic animals, they often show little to no obvious signs of discomfort, even when they’re experiencing significant dental pain.

Horses have hypsodont teeth, which means their teeth continuously erupt throughout their lives, approximately 3–4 mm per year. Because of this natural process, sharp points inevitably form over time. If it’s been more than a year since their last dental examination, your horse will have developed sharp points at the very least, which can lead to pain, ulceration, and discomfort eating and wearing a bridle.

Every horse should receive a thorough dental examination at least once a year.
Regular dental treatments ensure your horse stays comfortable and free from discomfort. They also help identify and address dental issues early.

Don’t wait for problems to arise, as they may become more difficult to manage. Proactive, regular dental care throughout their lifetime is key to ensuring your horse’s long term dental health and their overall well being.

Every equine, every year.
