Texas Institute of Equine Dentistry

The Equine Dental Equilibration Program uses a comprehensive approach designed to teach students the skills and give them the knowledge necessary to provide proper floating and balancing of the equine mouth. Students of this program will be able to identify and correct malocclusion and other abnormalities by applying proper technique using both hand and power instruments. They will be able to age the equine by dentition, and will learn how to give practical advice on the extraction of wolf teeth and premolar caps. Students will learn the structure, function and various parts of the equine head and neck. Students completing this program may pursue a proprietary career as an equine dental equilibrator or seek employment as an assistant to a veterinarian.
