Services
Roger offers a very comprehensive dental service that is completely tailored to each and every horse’s individual needs. Every horse seen is given a thorough external and internal evaluation prior to any work being carried out and if there are any concerns during the examination they are brought to the attention of the owner and then discussed.
Only when the initial evaluation is finished and the owner has been informed of the work that is required, the relevant costs and any long-term effects the treatment is going to have will work begin. Roger uses both electric and manual instruments throughout the procedure and depending on the severity of the horse’s problems can spend anything from 30 minutes up to 2 hours to correct everything in a horse’s mouth.
In some instances it might necessary to contact a veterinarian who may be needed to sedate the horse if it is required. Fortunately Roger has a very good working relationship with numerous veterinary practices throughout the country and can arrange for a vet to be present if needed.
Radiographs are also required in some instances but this is normally carried out in a veterinary clinic and would not be an everyday requirement and is usually only for horses with serious dental issues. They are vital in diagnosing horses with fractured teeth, Sinus issues, pin pointing the source of an infection and various other dental problems that could not be detected otherwise.
