How often should I have my horse’s teeth floated?

Every horse's mouth is a little different, just like people. The type of teeth your horse has will determine how often he will need his teeth

floated.

At 5 years old, your horse will have a mature mouth. That means he

is finished with changing his baby teeth to adult ones. So what he has

now is what he will be working with for the rest of his life.

Your horse would probably benefit from having his mouth worked on

once a year. The place for you to start is have the best equine dentist

you can find come and give him a thorough exam. They will be able

to tell you, then, what work may need doing and how often it will need

to be maintained.

If your horse has not had his mouth worked on before, his first appointment will likely require the most work. Once your dentist has his mouth in good order it is usually simpler (and cheaper!) to keep it that way.
