Not only is Dr. Olivia James an equine veterinary dentist specialist-in-training but she has also created a unique online equine dental portal that delivers education anywhere in the world.
Caring for Your Horse's Teeth
No horse owner wants to see their horse in pain. Dental pain can sometimes be hard to identify, but it can greatly affect your horse's overall health. You should have your horse's teeth checked yearly, even if you don’t notice any problems.
Horses Need to See the Dentist Too
Just like cats and dogs, horses need oral examinations from veterinarians. The health of a horse’s mouth greatly impacts its well-being, behavior, and performance.

Taking good care of your horse’s teeth is so important to their overall well-being. If you have a dog or cat at home, you know that your veterinarian will examine their mouth to look for decay, broken teeth or dental disease. Horses get the same treatment, but need a little extra maintenance called “floating.”
