Horse dentistry is the practice of providing dental care to horses, which includes floating (filing down) the teeth, extracting diseased teeth, and treating oral diseases. It is an important part of horse care because dental problems can cause pain, discomfort, and even malnutrition in horses.
The cost of horse dentistry can vary depending on the location, the experience of the dentist, and the type of services required. Generally, a basic dental exam and float will cost between $100 and $200. More complex procedures, such as tooth extractions or surgery, can cost more.
