The Dentist's Rasp

Category: Horse Health

An equine dental health podcast hosted by a certified equine dental technician and veterinarian team who work together on dental cases across the Mountain West. The show demystifies horse dentistry for owners — explaining the difference between a float and a power float, why wave mouth and shear mouth develop in older horses, and how dental problems directly affect performance, behavior, and weight maintenance. Episodes address specific issues: hooks on upper 6s blocking jaw movement, wolf teeth removal timing before starting young horses, and the connection between bit contact, headset problems, and dental pain that many trainers miss entirely. The podcast takes a strong stance on distinguishing between qualified equine dentists and unqualified lay floaters, explaining what proper certification requires and what questions owners should ask. An episode on equine dental radiology and what digital X-rays reveal that a manual exam misses has become one of the most shared episodes in the equine health podcast space.
