YES!!! If your horse is missing any teeth, then dental exams actually need to be MORE frequent. This is because the tooth that is opposite the missing tooth will grow extra long because it is not being worn down anymore. As the tooth length extends past the length of the other teeth, it makes the horse's normal circular chewing motion impossible, leading to pain, poor nutrition, and a "snowball effect" of other dental problems.

Patients who have valvular heart disease or have had a valve replaced are at increased risk for infection of the heart valve. Any manipulation of the gums may cause release of bacteria into the blood stream and set up the risk for infection.

Young (<5 years) and older (> 20 years) should have exams every six months because they are more prone to have problems. An average adult horse with no dental abnormalities should have annual exams. Wolf teeth and canine teeth are different. The canine teeth are the teeth that are just behind the incisors. They correspond to human canines- the most pointy of our teeth. If your horse had a bit in his mouth, the canine teeth (if present) would be in front of the bit.

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.

Neck reining is a “taught” response. When the horse feels the rein on one side of the neck, it is taught to turn to the opposite. There is a very slight and subtle pressure applied to the bit on the same side as the rein is touching, but because this pressure is so subtle, the horse is trained to ignore it. Likewise, our bridle exerts subtle pressure on the entire side of a horse’s head when neck reining.

Coggins in veterinarian terms is called Equine Infectious Anemia or EIA. Since it is a viral disease, there is no vaccine and no known cure.
