Equine dentistry is the practice of maintaining, diagnosing, and treating a horse’s oral health. Because a horse’s teeth continuously erupt throughout its life and wear unevenly from grinding forage, routine dental care—such as filing sharp enamel points (floating)—is essential to prevent pain, weight loss, and riding behavioral issues. Equine dentistry is extremely important to the health of racehorses. Fossils, skulls and antique dentistry tools are just some of the items you will discover in the exhibit.
