Managing the Horse's Mouth Post Extraction

Описание: Most people think extracting a horse's tooth solves the problem, but that’s only the beginning. In this video, we dive into a critically overlooked topic in equine dentistry: post-extraction care and occlusal equilibration.

When a horse loses a tooth, the surrounding teeth don't just sit still—they drift, and the opposing tooth may overgrow into the empty space, leading to serious secondary malocclusions. These imbalances can impact the horse's ability to chew, causing long-term issues if not properly addressed.

🐴 Topics covered:

What happens to a horse’s mouth after tooth extraction

The concept of dental drift and over-eruption

Why floating teeth is not enough

The importance of balancing the mouth (occlusal equilibration)

Real-life case of a horse with bilateral fractured upper 9s

Why specialized training and instruments are essential

Whether you're a veterinarian, equine dental professional, or a horse owner eager to learn more—this video sheds light on the art and science of post-extraction dental care.

📹 Stay tuned for case footage (note: shot solo, so not top quality) to see real-world examples of how proper post-extraction planning makes a huge difference in a horse’s health and comfort.
