Equine dental equilibration for bit reactivity

This is Bob, a 20-year-old heel horse presenting for routine dental equilibration. Mild reactivity to the bit. Otherwise holds weight appropriately, no reports of diarrhea, etc. Exam reveals: normal TMJ, normal lateral excursion of the mandible in both directions, incisors in appropriate wear, moderate sharp enamel points along the buccal surface of the cheeks on the maxillary arcade and lingual surface of the mandibular arcade. Mild bilateral ramping of 311 and 411. Sharp enamel points and ramps were safely reduced, relieving areas of oral discomfort. Owner reports that patient is doing well! -Dr. Erin Gatz
