It is important to regularly have a veterinarian or equine dentist check and float (file) your horse's teeth to remove sharp points and ensure proper dental health. This is typically done once or twice a year to prevent issues with chewing, digestion, and overall health.
Floating is the medical term used to describe the rasping or filing of a horses' teeth. The term originated from the masonry term which describes the leveling of a row of bricks (floating).
Horses' teeth grow non stop and sometimes the teeth will poke the gums and cause pain. You will need to get them "floated" which means they need to be filed down.
Floating a horse's teeth, which involves filing down sharp points on their molars, is a common and safe procedure when done by a qualified veterinarian or equine dentist. It is important for maintaining the horse's dental health and overall well-being. If done incorrectly or by someone inexperienced, it can potentially cause harm to the horse's mouth.
They don't need daily treatment, but you need to get the horse dentist out at least once a year to check them, if they have points on them he will float them.
