Equine Dentistry
Do you know the difference between a lay horse dentist and an EVDS trained Veterinarian?
A holistic approach — Only your equine veterinarian understands that many health problems are multifactorial, and can diagnose and treat non-dental problems.
Sedatives and analgesics — Only your equine veterinarian can legally use sedatives and analgesics (pain killers) during and following dental examinations. They understand and have studied the use and effect of these drugs and understand how to avoid dangerous outcomes.
Tools and equipment — Only your equine veterinarian can legally use a Power Float, which is a powerful handheld tool that can only be operated by a qualified professional.
Insurance — As a horse owner, you can rest assured that your equine veterinarian is suitably insured, should an unforeseen accident, error or unexpected outcome occur.
Under law only equine veterinarians can remove teeth as sedation an analgesia is required for this to occur under “The Animal Cruelty Act”.
