This mini mule got his dental check-up because even half an ass deserves a full dental.

Half-ass mini, full-ass dental.

This little mini’s underbite is certainly eye-catching, but without proper dental care, it could make mealtime tricky!

She’s living proof that not every mouth is textbook perfect-and that’s completely okay. With consistent dental care, even the quirkiest bites can stay comfortable and functional.

For her, we’ll gently reduce the lower incisors over a few appointments. This slow, careful approach keeps her upper jaw unrestricted while helping her chew with ease.

We’re so grateful for all the amazing clients we’ve had the privilege to work with!

If we’ve helped you or your horses recently, we’d love it if you could take a minute to share your experience in a review.

Your feedback helps other owners feel confident when choosing us, and it means the world to our small business.

When an equine dentist visits your farm, the first step is a quick check at the front of your horse’s mouth. Then, you will see us place a metal device between their teeth. It might look unusual, but it’s called a speculum-and it’s one of the most important tools we use.
 
Horses’ teeth extend far back-much farther than we can see without help. The speculum gently holds the mouth open so we can safely see and reach every tooth. This allows us to spot sharp points, uneven wear, or hidden dental issues that could affect your horse’s comfort and performance.
 
So while it might look a little strange, the speculum’s job is simple: keep those powerful jaws open so we can do our work safely and thoroughly-helping your horse eat, chew, and feel their best.

Does your horse struggle under saddle? It might be their teeth.

Head tossing, resisting the bit, stiffness, or inconsistent contact can sometimes be blamed on training—but often, the problem starts in the mouth.

Common riding-related signs of dental problems:
🦷 Bit resistance
🦷 Head shaking or tossing
🦷 Difficulty bending or collecting
🦷 Dropping feed or weight loss

If your horse’s behavior has changed under saddle, don’t overlook their teeth. A quick dental check could make a world of difference.

Houston had his first dental visit with us recently!
His owner had noticed weight loss during the winter and increased quidding of hay — both classic signs of dental discomfort.

With the help of Dr. Zehner from Piedmont Equine Practice, we were able to extract an expired 107 premolar and address several malocclusions.

While Houston’s dental work was being done, the owner had a chance to discuss future diet and care options — especially important for older horses like him.

One of my favorite parts of visits like this? When owners and their kids are eager to learn more about equine dentistry and take interest in their horse’s teeth! 💕
