Equip yourself with the knowledge to keep your equine partner by your side for a good, long time! Freedom from dental pain enables your horse to be at its best (all the time) ... essential to achieving your equestrian dreams! How do you know whether the horse upon which you lavish so much time, attention and, let’s be honest, money, is getting the best dental care possible? How do you know it even needs dentistry, when the most common signs of dental disease are hard to detect, even by the most astute horse owner? Although equine dentistry has rapidly advanced in recent years, not everyone can access that knowledge—so how can you, as an owner, possibly be expected to know what constitutes optimal and safe dentistry for your beloved horse? It’s such a frustrating, anxiety-filled mystery! This book will unlock that mystery and give you full access! By the end, you’ll be able to relax, knowing everything you need to know about that dark cave called “your horse’s mouth”. You will learn about anatomy, disease, treatment options, and why it’s so vital to use the most effective, modern equine dental methods. Through clear explanations and examples, Dr Thompson hands you the keys to understanding your horse’s mouth and dental needs, plus how to select the right expert help to keep your equine companion or sports teammate in the best possible shape, regardless of your riding or driving style, your horse’s breed, or its age.
