WHAT IS TAUGHT
at
 SCHOOL 

 

 

       Basic to advanced dentistry concepts are taught, based on the idea of working on incisors first with angles adjusted over time.

               The horse is also allowed to position its head low to the ground in a natural position during the procedure. This allows for a neurological release and a calming effect can be seen.

        No stands or slings are required. By allowing the horse to partisipate during dental balancing, there is less strain on the head and neck musclulature. Providing less fatigue for the horse after so they might have a short or no adjustment period to retime thier bite and rebalance themselves through out the body.      


 
       Checking for proper alignment of the incisors with the head low works best for the horse.

                Only redesigned, ergonomic hand held instruments are used. These were tested over many years. They fit the horse, are less disturbing to the horse and greatly reduce the possibility of soft tissue damage

        Soft tissue damage is not a sign of proper dentistry being performed on a horse. 

                 Better use of horse handling skills to keep the horse calm, relaxed and connected with the person doing the work. This produces a calming effect for the horse.

                  Maximize surface to surface contact of the incisors and the molar arcades. By only adjusting what is interfering with the full movement of the jaw. 
Providing the ability for the horse to increase the range of motion to the jaw to maximize the wearing surface of the teeth, and restore the ability of the horse to shear and masticate his food for better digestion. 
In return they are free to get lateral and vertical flexion easily without interference from the teeth.
 

        Restoring what is proper natural rotation, guidance and funtion to the TMJ.
 This is what is most important to the horse. 

                 Great emphasis is placed  on how little it takes to get maximum results for the horse. Especially in an older horse that has a very slow eruption rate of the teeth.

                 How pathologies in the mouth relate to the horses body. Examples of compensation in the body are shown and discussed.
