Service
An initial imbalance in a horse’s dentition can cause a domino effect of dysfunction to surrounding dentition, dental tissues and eventually surrounding and forgiving structures such as the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) which is compulsory for any animals chewing motion. A horse is known to only require 2 and a half hours sleep to function at minimum, their stomach empty’s 7-8 times a day and chews an estimated 30,000 times a day so having fully functioning teeth, TMJ and oral cavity is essentially vital for a healthy horse. Imbalance throws of a horse’s dentition away from its genetic intention therefore EQUITEETH focuses on restoring this balance to prevent malocclusion's causing dysfunction and deterioration of the oral cavity and systemically the whole horse.
