Routine Dentistry
The goal of Garden State Equine Veterinary Dentistry is to make our patients more comfortable today and healthier tomorrow. The practice exclusively offers comprehensive routine and advanced equine dental services to complement and enhance the care that your horse receives from your regular equine veterinarian. Please see our FAQ page to learn why routine dental care by a veterinarian is important.
Oral Examination
|
When we arrive at your farm, the skilled veterinary assistants will start setting up for the appointment while Dr. McAndrews will discuss with the owner or trainer the horse's medical history and any concerns. We prefer to work in either a stall or wash stall, free of hazards. Dr. McAndrews will perform a physical exam and administer a dose of standing sedation appropriate for the horse's size, age, and temperament.
Every appointment includes a full assessment of the horse's mouth. A bright headlight, speculum, mirror, and probes are always used to completely examine the horse's mouth. An intra-oral camera can be used to document the exam and to show the owner or trainer any abnormalities. Based on this exam, a treatment plan is developed with the owner or trainer. |

Routine Dentistry/Floating

We use the latest, water-cooled, motorized equipment. A variety of instruments are available for all sizes of horses and donkeys to safely and efficiently address all aspects of the mouth.

Digital Radiography

Our high-resolution, portable, digital radiography unit, in combination with a thorough oral exam, allows us to make a full assessment and treatment plan stall-side. Our digital radiograph unit is capable of taking both extra- and intra- oral images.
