My horses (my customers horses) are all fat and happy and some of them are yearlings and really too young to have dental problems. Why should I spend money on unnecessary procedures?

One of the most damaging myths about horse care is that they will show outward signs when they have sharp points or malocclusions in their mouth. Some of the worst mouths we have seen have been in horses with no obvious outward indications. Young Horses have softer teeth that become sharp points more rapidly. It is also best to catch a dental problem when the horse is young as many serious malocclusions (Parrot mouth/sow mouth, etc.) can be remedied with bracing or equilibrating, if found by 3months of age.
