Craig Lennon's Equine Dentistry
Description
Equine Dental Technician. Just A little about me and why dentistry is so important to your horse!
I have worked in the equine industry for a few years now and in my time worked in the Thoroughbred industry in Australia and the USA for the past few years in the top stud farms in the world with stallions and yearlings etc. I graduated from Kildalton college in "Young horse Breaking and training / Stud Management where I worked with a variety of different breeds and sizes.
I trained in America in "THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF EQUINE DENTISTRY" under DR. Raymond Hyde D.V.M who has been running the school for 15 years. There we worked on all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.
I travel nation wide and I am trained in Advanced and routine procedures. I use hand floats and/or power whatever the patient needs!
Though it may seem tedious and like a burden, you know having routine dentist check-ups contribute to the overall good health of your own teeth. Well, your horse is no different and deserves some of the same attention to their teeth as you give to yours. Taking care of your horse's teeth is part of maintaining your horse's health. Confined horses or those that do not have the ability to graze all day are more prone to teeth overgrowth, as they are not naturally grinding their teeth all day to keep them smooth. Also, just like you, your horse can have other dental problems. A horse can have excessively worn teeth, loose or broken teeth, or infected gums.
One sign that your horse's teeth may need to be floated is if they are consistently dropping food from their mouth and you start seeing signs of weight loss. Your horse may also exhibit behavior like head-tossing or opening their mouth frequently.
