I had Dr. Solomon Benerroch come out to float Calypso's teeth.

@daisydoes69: About the geometrics of chewing. It's too complex to discuss here with 500 signs. Nowadays, the incisors are not used enough (stable fodder), so they will grow too long. To feel the same, take a teaspoon between your incisors. The horse will bite harder to get the molars in occlusion. The upper and lower jaws bend as a consquence, yes, and the mandible moves forward, so ramps may develop on the first molars and hooks on the last molars. That's what we find on-site. Search pequinox.

@daisydoesit: We did draw some comparisons with various tools with and without watercooling taken by a camera of the Thermographic Institut Berlin. Finaly we decided that in future all horse dentists of Pequinox Equine Dentistry shall use water cooling. It's normal physics: The finer the granulation, the higher the speed, the higher the pressure, the longer the time the tools take effect on the teeth, the more heat is produced on the surface. It may not exceed 42° Celsius inside the teeth.

@pequinox While i wouldn't use this tool do you actually know how much heat is produced and over how much time? and you also don't seem to know that when the incisors are in occlusion the molars shouldn't be until the mandible moves forward then the molars come into occlusion and the incisors out of occlusion

Great Video, thanks for posting. I'm studying equine dentristry which is fascinating!

are you KIDDING ME? tell your guy to get involved with Pneumatic floats, twice as safe and ten times better job, id never let someone use that in my horses mouth, no wonder so many horse owners are afraid-- NEVER would i let him do my horse,

@ECcorvette85 About $90.00-$100.00, but it varies depending on the vet, good news is it only needs to get done once a year, whereas regular floating takes maybe twice a year!! :)

@randompanda89 I wasn't saying I knew a lot about equine dentistry. I only know A FEW things, so please don't tell me not to speak of things I know nothing about. I was just saying it as if I was a horse. And yes, I know that the horse is sedated because I learned it at riding camp. And I am NOT an equine dentist! I'm not even in college yet so that will teach you to be sarcastic. So, bye!
