Teeth Brush
How often do your horse/s have its teeth done? How much do you usually spend on each session?
Our horses have their teeth cleaned up every year to a vet. The cost for each horse is approximately $110 (5,500 pesos). And we have 2 horses and they took turns to see the vet, March for Takbo and October for Kidlat. |

The schedule depends on the horse. Some of my horses seem to keep their teeth under control better. Every 1- 2 years (depends on the vet recommendation) we float the horse's teeth. It costs around $250 per horse. It is hard work for the vet and it usually takes two people to get it done.

I didn't know that horses went to the vet to get their teeth cleaned. I always thought that just people would clean the horses teeth.. But now thanks to equineboard I am learning more and more about horses. I think that this site will become a fully developed community

I just imagine that picture: you are standing there a bit drugged up, the vet holding the drill with that interesting dental instrument into your mouth and getting your teeth done ![]() ![]() Gosh, all the hooks to get rid off !!A bit more to the subject: our young ones we check every half a year until they are about 3 yrs of age, the older ones every year. Costs vary depending on time spend: from 80 to 120 euros in this area. If I recall, in MI and TX I spent about $100 per horse, about the same. $250 is quite a bit, where you are from please, QuarterHorses? |

I live in a small town next to Scottsdale. The prices are higher I am sure in Scottsdale. I have never heard of someone brushing horses teeth. That would be very dangerous for an owner to do. In the wild, a horse will naturally grind down their teeth by eating the range grasses (and dirt). Domesticated horses can't keep the sharp points on their teeth under control. My vet actually uses a saws-all with a special grinding pad if the horse has really bad teeth.

If the owner of the horse is a vet then he can clean the teeth of his horse all by himself, maybe with a little help of an assistant.
Anyway, I have not yet heard or even seen on our horses about decaying teeth of horses. Is there such thing as decaying tooth for horses or it is just for humans? |

No, horses can have tooth decay too. Stuff that effects humans teeth can also effect horses teeth. For more info visit : http://www.brown-ranch.com/dentistry.html There are disturbing teeth pictures on that page, egh.

What is floating? My first thought was an image of a horse's false teeth floating in a glass of denture cleaning solution.
![]() And QuarterHorses, are you saying horses teeth grow sharp? And they have to be filed down to keep from getting pointy? |
