It finally feels like spring! Quiet morning at the office, then went out to float an older horse's teeth. Routine dental care will ensure that your horse will have a healthy set of teeth for most of their life! We offer dental specials with 10% discounts twice a year through our office and have both a hand float set and a power float set (we use the Swiss Float). Some veterinarians utilize only a power float; however, this may result in removing too much dental surface and can also overheat the tooth and damage the pulp. We use our Swiss Float primarily to reduce single teeth that are overtly long and to help restore a contact surface that would not be restored by hand floats alone. Once we got back into the office, we neutered a male cat (quick walk-in) and a Great Pyrenees. Good way to end the day:)
