Our Focus

Our focus is placed on the Whole Horse. When we are introduced to a horse who needs dental work, we asses the whole horse first. We look at the body, legs, and feet in addition to the teeth. It all connects!

If we take Nascar as an example:

In order to for the racecars to run at peak performance a PIT CREW is used. Each professional, specializing in a certain area (bodywork, mechanics, electrician, tires, etc.) works with the team, in conjunction with the crew chief. In order for the horse to be at the peak of its performance and in the best shape health wise, they too need a (pit crew) team of professionals, in conjunction with a veterinarian, working together. In other words, in addition to learning dentistry, you will also learn a portion of other modalities as well (How the head, neck, body, and feet are all connected with, and affected by the teeth). This will better enable the student to make a more educated evaluation as to whether or not the horse needs dentistry or body work, or trimming. The Student will then know after doing dentistry what parts of the body and feet will change and how.

We also teach our students (dentists as well as veterinarians) how to interact with each other and their clients on a professional and complimentary basis.

Keeping this in mind , Natural Balance Dentistry Concepts (beginning to advanced) are taught, based on the idea of working on incisors first with angles adjusted over time.

• Our students are taught better use of horse handling to keep the horse calm.
• The horse is allowed to put its head low to the ground in a natural position during the procedure - Therefore our students learn to work while kneeling down.
• Ergonomically redesigned Hand Held Instruments Only are used. These were tested to be less disturbing to the horse as well as fitting individual teeth and lessen the possibility of soft tissue damage.
