Routine dentistry is of paramount importance to maintain the health of your horse's mouth.
Good dental care should be primarily about preventative care, as with human dentistry.
Problems should be identified at routine dental appointments ideally well in advance of development of symptoms.
Unfortunately, many developing dental problems, even some quite severe ones appear to be symptomless as the horse 'copes' by adjusting eating patterns and disguising any discomfort.
Each dental visit is your horse's one opportunity for 6-12 months to have the mouth and teeth examined really thoroughly for such developing problems - so you need to make sure it is done properly.

Before making the decision to purchase a horse, whether a child's pony, a breeding stallion or a performance horse, we highly recommend a five stage pre-purchase examination.
The standard BEVA pre-purchase examination certificate in the UK states 'a detailed examination of the mouth has not been performed'.
This means pathology of the mouth and teeth is often missed.
At EDC we would highly recommend a thorough oral examination by oral endoscopy prior to purchasing a horse.
We can offer a visit to perform oral endoscopic examination and provide a report with images detailing any pathology present in the mouth.

The clinic is in a quiet rural location which means we are able to perform intricate dental procedures in peace and quiet.
We have parking in the yard with a field opposite for larger lorries, a reception area with seating, offices, pharmacy, lavatory, and spacious clinic area with stocks.
The clinic has 3 large wall-mounted television monitors (one in reception mirroring the clinic) to allow us to visualise oral procedures in high quality enlarged view, which also means clients have an immersive experience helping them to understand the nature of the problem and treatment performed.
