JeffKlepinger, EDT, Equine Dentist, presents his new video Equine
Dentistry without Sedation. As
a horse owner, Jeff asked if I would review his new video and share my analysis
and recommendations.
The video is very informative and explains a horse’s dental
health in detail. Jeff introduces a beautiful compliant Appaloosa, who is
willing to serve for this demonstration. Jeff begins with an Introduction, expounding on how to
determine when your horse needs a float procedure.  |

The term float means
a rasp/file (also called a float) is used to grind down a horse’s sharp teeth. Jeff
explains that caring for your horse’s teeth keeps them healthy and prolongs
their life. He continues by explaining that horses have 24 baby teeth (caps)
and that they will acquire 36-44 adult teeth.
Jeff continues by demonstrating how to inspect and examine
your horse’s teeth. He explains the molar arcade and how teeth sharpen with
age, causing chewing problems and more; weight loss, quidding, excessive bit
chewing, foul odors, and the list goes on. He describes the incisors and how
they work and where to look for trouble. Jeff demonstrates how he uses a
speculum (rubber mouth gag) to enter the horse’s mouth - without sedation.
Jeff sticks his entire hand in the Appaloosa’s mouth. He’s a
professional, and personally, I do not feel comfortable sticking my hand in my
horse’s mouth, and will leave it to professionals, like Jeff.
Ellen Mounds, owner of the beautiful compliant Appaloosa, gives
a testimonial of Jeff’s good work, integrity, and knowledge. “Awesome job!”
Ellen says, “Jeff is very calm with my horses and I like that approach.”
Equine dental health is extremely important. As with humans,
tooth health determines overall wellness. I realize the importance of equine
dental health and recommend Jeff’s video for all horse owners!
Great job, Jeff, on explaining horse dentistry and keeping
us informed on how to care for our horses! I recommend this video for those
wanting to keep their horses in tip-top shape. To receive a copy of the DVD and learn more about Equine Dentistry Services, visit Jeff's website.

Being an equine dentist seems like a difficult enough job. I wonder how it works to do work on a horse without sedation. You much have to know how to keep the animal very calm throughout the entire process.
