Meet Abe the gentle giant!

He was a gentleman for his routine dental treatment, although I was nervous the gag was going to be a too small, it was *just* the perfect fit!

As some of you lovely people are aware, I am expecting a little baby at the end of May!
I am hoping to continue to work until end of April (and longer if the bump allows) but I just wanted to give you all the heads up if horses need booking in before I go on maternity!
If all goes well I’m hoping to be back at work September / October time with baby in tow when I can.
Please feel free to message me to book in or ask any questions you may have.

Josie is a 14 year old mare who has not been blessed with the best dentition.
A approximately 3-4 years ago her upper 03’s, 202 and both lower 06’s all started to show signs of either becoming necrotic or periodontal disease all within the space of a year. We referred Josie to a dental vet specialist who x-rayed and recommended all of the affected teeth were removed. Josie has 6 monthly checks where we keep an eye on the remaining teeth.

Hello Autumn! 🍁🍂

As you prepare for the colder months ahead, now is the perfect time to ensure your horse’s dental care is up to date. If it’s been over a year since their last treatment, it’s really important to have them checked before winter. It’s especially important in older horses who may be prone to weight loss or may have reduced chewing surfaces.

A thorough dental treatment will ensure your horse is free from discomfort, detect early signs of dental disease, improve chewing efficiency, and allow them to perform at their best. Regular dental care will also help prevent future dental problems.

All our BAEDT members receive extensive training and are rigorously examined, ensuring the highest standards of care. Each member is approved by BEVA/BVDA, so you can feel confident your horse is in experienced hands.

Take the first step in preparing your horse for winter. Visit www.baedt.com to find a qualified equine dental technician near you!

A pair of large wolf teeth I removed from a little yearling mare this morning.

As you can see the clinical crown (visible part of the tooth) looked to be quite small and like it may not be very substantial. However the reserve grown (beneath the gum line) are large in size.

A brilliant YouTube video explaining what we do and the importance of regular dental treatments.

A lovely 5 year old mare had what appeared to be her first dental treatment today, luckily a vet was there to sedate as the periodontal (gum) disease that was present in her mouth was quite significant.
With diastemata (gaps between teeth) present throughout both lower arcades, her oral hygiene was very poor. I flushed all food debris out from between the teeth and rasped her sharp points so she was left with a comfortable mouth.
Going forward with a treatment plan with the owner and vet to make sure we give her the best possible chance of a healthy mouth.

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.
