Teeth Floating Services
The hallmark of equine dental care is a procedure called the Dental Float, which is to use a power or hand tool to grind the teeth in certain locations to either adjust the alignment of the mouth or to smooth out sharp or protruding points in the teeth.
Teeth Floating Services in Tampa, FL
Knowing what problems can arise with a horse’s mouth and how to treat them is crucial, as dental health plays a big role in a horse’s overall health. Our equine teeth floating services provide crucial insight into this part of your horse’s wellness, enabling us to develop more targeted and effective treatment.
Comprehensive Teeth Floating for Equine Patients
Typically, the veterinarian starts an appointment for horse dentistry by taking a history. They will speak with the stable manager or owner to obtain a sense of what might be in the horse’s mouth. The veterinarian may ask whether there are any behavioral signs that the horse may have dental problems.
The veterinarian will then sedate the horse. Sedation allows for a more thorough dental examination and treatment. After the anesthesia wears off, the veterinarian will place a speculum into the horse’s mouth. The speculum holds the horse’s mouth open so that the veterinarian can safely see inside the horse’s mouth and perform procedures inside.
