Riverside Veterinary Clinic

     Dental evaluations of your horse should begin at 1 and 2 years of age and we evaluate them annually.  We make recommendations for dental prophylaxis as needed for the current lifestyle and life-stage of your horse.

     While removing enamel points is a very important part of our overall process, we also work in a balanced approach to prevent and correct such things as tall teeth, waves and ramps.  We utilize power floating supplemented by hand floating; there are some places in the mouth a power float simply cannot address adequately.

     When appropriate teeth can be extracted to improve dental comfort, especially in our older horse population.

     While we prefer to do the single horse in the clinic, our eqiupement is very mobile and we are happy to come to your horse.  The only thing we'll ask for at your home is a covered area that will block the sun and a strong corner to back your horse into to.  Electricity is helpful, but not necessary as we have a generator that we can bring with us, just let us know when you call the clinic.
