Dentistry

Routine dental care is essential for your horse’s comfort, nutrition, and performance. Uneven tooth wear can create sharp enamel points that cause pain, difficulty chewing, weight loss, and resistance under saddle.

At Iron Horse Equine, we provide comprehensive equine dental exams and routine dental floating to correct sharp points, improve chewing function, and support overall health.

 

Common Signs Your Horse May Need Dental Care

 

• Dropping feed or chewing slowly

• Weight loss or poor body condition

• Resistance to the bit

• Head tossing while riding

• Quidding (dropping partially chewed hay)

• Excessive salivation

​

Routine Dental Float

$190 Routine Dental Float

Dental floating smooths sharp enamel points and corrects uneven wear to improve chewing comfort and prevent oral pain. Sedation is required to allow a thorough exam and safe dental treatment (~$50-80).

​

When Horses Need Dental Exams

Most horses benefit from a dental exam every 12 months, although younger horses, senior horses, and performance horses may require more frequent care.

​

Added Benefits During Dental Visits

Dental appointments are also an opportunity to perform additional routine care such as:

• sheath cleaning (when sedated)

• microchipping

• vaccinations

• wellness exams

​

Combining services can make routine care more convenient and minimize stress for your horse.

​

Iron Horse Equine provides equine dental care and dental floating for horses in Elizabeth, Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown, Kiowa, and surrounding Front Range communities.
