Horses' teeth continue to shed throughout their lives or until they reach the end of their life and can develop various problems over the course of their lives, such as uneven wear, sharp edges, misaligned teeth, tooth decay, tartar formation and infections of the gums and tooth roots. Regular dental care is therefore crucial to maintain the health, performance and quality of life of horses. A thorough examination of the mouth and teeth should be part of every horse's routine health care.
