Since horse teeth grow continuously it's a little harder to treat an abcess than with humans. You can't just pull out the tooth. You have to treat the abcess with antibiotics. The biggest concern a horse can have is if the tooth cracks downward. If it splits down the middle it can be quite dangerous.
