Comprehensive Dental Health for Your Horse

At Roncal Veterinary Clinic, we understand the importance of dental health in horses for their overall well-being and optimal performance. Our equine dentistry service offers specialized care to maintain a healthy and functional mouth in your horses.

The main dental problem in horses (which all of them present) are the well-known points, caused by the continuous growth of teeth and their uneven wear.

Enamel points are sharp and cutting, and can damage and ulcerate the oral mucosa, causing wounds that are very bothersome and uncomfortable for horses.

What benefits does your horse get from regular dental care?

• Improves contact with the bit, resulting in a better response to the rein and more docile horses.
• Maximizes the use of food, leading to savings as dental occlusion and chewing improve.
• Reduces the time needed to train a foal, as the horse will be more focused, attentive, and free from mouth pain.
• Increases the horse’s useful life, as their teeth remain functional for longer without pain or discomfort.
