“Equine dentistry has really evolved in the last 20 years, It used to be that veterinarians kind of looked at teeth as individual pieces of wood. We know now that this is all living, connected tissue. A problem with one tooth can cascade into a whole set of problems for the horse. A healthy mouth is vital to a horse’s overall fitness and quality of life.”
