As horses age they are subject to more problems with their teeth. The teeth erupt continuously during their lives, but only for as long as the root can provide. In most horses, this can be up to 35 years or so, but only when proper dental care has been provided throughout their lives. Without proper care, the teeth become vulnerable to excessive wear, pockets between the teeth that collect feedstuffs, and pain. Loose and missing teeth are also common in older horses.
