A horse’s teeth keep growing throughout its life. When rough edges develop, they can cause pain and ulcerations on the inside of the cheek, causing problems when the horse is ridden. Some dressage and jumper horses are so active that they may develop sharp edges on their teeth more often than others, said Mr. Pankow.
At Cindy Williams’s farm in Huntly last Friday, Mr. Pankow worked first on floating Mystery’s teeth, and then on Agatha, who was not as receptive to the work on her teeth as Mystery had been. She kept backing up so that she ended up leaning against the back part of the stall as Mr. Pankow checked her teeth. He discovered that she was more sensitive on her right side and that she had a blind (under the gum) wolf tooth. Mrs. Williams confirmed his diagnosis, saying that she has had a tougher time making Agatha go to the right while riding her.
Because Agatha would need to be sedated before pulling the tooth, Mr. Pankow decided to take care of the wolf tooth l^ter on, once Agatha was sedated by a veterinarian. Sotaietimes extractions can be done without sedation, though.
A horse has a mature set of teeth usually by the age of five, and floating needs to be done on most mature horses once a year, said Mr. Pankow.
