Your horse has unique equine dentistry needs. While many people are unaware of a horse’s dental needs, at Perkins Veterinary Clinic, serving Stillwater and Perkins, we understand your horse's needs. Our veterinarian can help you take care of your horse.

Equine Dental Care May Prevent Colic

Colic in horses is defined as abdominal pain. This can stem from hooks that may develop on a horse’s molars. Your horse may develop colic as a symptom of not eating properly because of excessive dental growths. Our veterinarian can diagnose this issue and help you provide the care your horse needs to avoid this issue in the future.

Equine Dental Care May Prevent Behavioral Issues

When your horse is in pain, he may exhibit behavioral issues. Animals in pain often act aggressive or upset, but treating dental pain can prevent this issue.

Equine Dental Care May Prevent Malnutrition

Horses in pain are not likely to eat a healthy diet. Equine dentistry prevents malnutrition by ensuring your horse always has the nutrients he needs to maintain a healthy weight.

Equine Dental Care May Prevent TMJ Disorder

If you suspect that your horse has pain or tension in his jaw, dental care may be exactly what he needs. During a dental exam, our veterinarian will look for signs of TMJ and treat the dental issues that cause it.

Horse Teeth Grow Constantly

A horse needs regular dental care to ensure that his teeth naturally grind down, something that may not happen when your horse eats soft alfalfa hay. When your horse does not have a diet that naturally keeps his teeth short, our vet can help.
