Regular quality dental work is important for maintaining your horse’s health and performance and can prevent bigger problems in the future.

There are many advantages in having your horses teeth attended to by a qualified veterinary surgeon.  Most horses only require a 20 minute treatment to remove share enamel points on an annual basis. 

Our prices are very competitive to those of a fully trained equine dental technician.  Please phone the hospital for our current price plan.

If you decide not to use a vet to attend to your horse’s teeth, we would strongly advise that you choose a registered equine dental technician (EDT).  Refer to www.beva.org.uk for a list of approved EDT’s. 

Any damage to your horse’s mouth caused by an unregistered ‘dentist’ is unlikely to be covered by your insurance.
