Procedures we carry out for you &your equine . . .Does your dentist do a thorough examination? We do ! Equine Performance Dentistry 
Your Dentist should watch your horse move and look at hismuscle structure, palpate the TMJ and areas surroundingthe head before they get to looking in the horse’s mouth.They should then look, touch and feel to examine the teethand the mouth thoroughly to check for any abnormalities or loose teeth. Don't be happy until your Dentist has taken aflashlight or a headlamp and actually LOOKs into themouth, and also puts his hand in to FEEL everywhere.The horse should be examined for abnormal eruption pat-terns, malocclusions, wear pattern, sharp points, looseteeth, cracked teeth, pockets, infections, retained caps etc.The horse should be checked that the lateral movement of the mandible (lower jaw) is normal and that the teeth makegrinding possible.The masticatory muscles are checked for soreness or swelling. Remember that many muscles of mastication areintimately connected to the muscles of locomotion. And after all this you do the necessary treatment and cor-rections to any problems that might be present.
