Dentist Appointment

You may already know this, but horses need regular dental checkups as well as we humans. They also have baby teeth which are replaced by adult teeth between the ages of two to five years, and the adult teeth keep growing all their lives. This is where the phrase “long in the tooth” comes from. If a horse’s teeth don’t line up exactly, then parts of the tooth will not wear down and will become ragged. This can cause mouth ulcers and all sorts of pain, so we get the dentist to check at least annually. If he finds any issues, he will grind the rough edges down or clear out any gaps in the teeth to stop tooth decay. I’m sure you will agree with me that the last thing anyone wants is a horse with a toothache.

Just in case you were wondering how the other animals are, here are some pictures of the chickens and Superdoofus, who likes to sneak in and eat all the cat crunchies.

That’s all for now folks, have great day!
