• What do a horse's teeth consist of?
• How can you tell a horse's age?
• What happens in the mouth of a horse?
• When should a dental examination take place?
• What alternative therapies can be used for problems with teeth?

Problems with riding and feeding, as well as recurring colics, can all be related to trouble with horses’ teeth. Just as with humans, regular dental examinations are a must for horses. Equine dentistry is a specialist area, but one with which all horse owners and those who care for horses should be acquainted.

The kinds of problems that can affect horses’ teeth, how to recognise them and how to avoid them, together with the techniques and types of instruments used for dental treatment, are the subject of this book, which will be of interest to practitioners and others alike. This book should not be missing from any rider’s or owner's library.

Dr Kai Kreling is a veterinarian with his own practice in Germany.
