What to do when a horse has multiple fractured teeth.

Updated: May 22



In this video, we examine a horse that was referred for a dental evaluation. Radiographs and an oral endoscope revealed multiple dental pathologies, including a fractured tooth and deep infundibular caries. We performed the extractions and a restoration procedure to prevent further complications.


We also discuss the importance of regular oral exams—since a horse's body condition score doesn’t always reflect dental health. Many horses mask pain and continue eating despite severe dental issues. This case highlights why yearly dental check-ups are essential for equine well-being.
