Going price around here. If more horses, less per horse. My bill for 7 horses shots, etc., years ago,wasn't even close to $210!! Of course hay was $1.00 and now $7.00. But I need a horse!!!! S-o-o-o

No abcess
She is sedated for the floating of her teeth. It's usually done once a year to smooth out any sharp edges so they can chew properly.
The vets used to do it with a hand file. Times have changed$$ Thank you for commenting

How do wild horses deal with that problem?

Photo 1 says it all with the tight crop... we follow the diagonal photo construction up to the end... upper right... the mood changes from mechanical to emotional with the paniced eye... or are we projecting our own dental dread?

Can a horse dentist do work on humans? I'm still in shock at the prices my local dentists want for me.

My Dad was a dentist and oral surgeon and practiced between 1932 and 1992. He worked by himself without assistance. He did routine cleanings and rather complex oral surgery. He even did free dentistry on deserving folks on occasion. Folks also paid cash.
Now look at the number of folks in the dentist office that are needed to do various tasks including getting money from insurance.

My equine dentist used a file to float teeth also. A hoof trim used to be inexpensive too. I started trimming my horses hooves when that price went out of sight. Let's not even talk about hay now days. We grew, cut, raked, baled, and hauled ours ourselves.
