Or isn’t it?

Are you worried about your horse when…

• you can see ulcers or sores in its mouth?
• it resents being bridled or fusses with the bit?
• blood comes from its mouth?
• it drops feed?
• you can see a broken tooth, or a missing one?
• it drools?
• you see swelling or pus around the jaw or face?
• it tosses it’s head or is resistant to the bit?
• your horse has PPID and its mouth doesn’t seem right?
• its incisors just don’t look right?
• you see a nasty nasal discharge… pus coming from its nose?
• there are cuts on its tongue or lips?
• you don’t understand what your dental operator told you about your horse’s problems, and have no idea what it all means?

But what can you do?

You can learn about it and understand.

Why Does This Guide Stand Out?

Written by a seasoned, trusted expert: I have been an equine veterinarian for more than 36 years, and have a deep understanding of equine dentistry, plus a lifetime of experience working with horses. I bring my practical expertise to every page, ensuring you get advice you can trust.

Accessible to all horse owners: You don’t need to be a vet to understand and apply the information in this book. My straightforward explanations and helpful visuals make it easy to follow, especially if you remember to read the Author Preface, which gives tips for getting the most out of this book!

Packed with real-world examples: Drawing on my own case studies, and those of top veterinary dental specialists, I highlight common dental problems, successful treatments, and tips for keeping your horse’s teeth and mouth healthy.
