» Dental disease (e.g., broken teeth, irregular dental

arcades) is a common underlying cause of un-
thriftiness, loss of condition, or poor breeding or
nursing performance.
» The classic signs of dental disease in horses include
difficulty or slowness in feeding and a reluctance to
drink cold water.
» During the chewing process, the horse may stop for
a few moments and then start again.
» Sometimes, the head is held to one side as if the
horse were in pain.

» Occasionally, the horse may quid, ie, it may pick up

its food, form it into a bolus but drop the bolus
from the mouth after it has been partially chewed.
» Occasionally, the semi-chewed mass of feed may
become packed between the teeth and the cheek.
» To avoid using a painful tooth or a sore mouth, the
horse may bolt its food and subsequently suffer
indigestion, choke, or colic.
» There may be a lack of desire to eat hard grain
accompanied by uncrushed grain in the feces.

» Other signs of dental disease in horses include

excessive salivation and blood-tinged mucus in the
mouth, accompanied by the fetid breath of dental
decay.
» Extensive dental decay and accompanying
periostitis and root abscessation may lead to
empyema of the paranasal sinuses and intermittent
unilateral nasal discharge.
» There may be facial or mandibular swelling and
development of mandibular fistulas from apical
infections of the lower cheek teeth.
