This Is Not Your Average Dental Appointment!



I strongly believe in good dental hygiene. You must take care of your teeth in order to prolong the need for dentures.



Even the Equine members of the farmstead need to get their tarter build up removed every so often.



You see, our Equine friends have lots of teeth. Without proper maintenance, their teeth develop sharp points on them. Thus rubbing soars in their mouths and making it difficult for food (hay, grain, grass) consumption.



The horse pictured above is Roger. Notice his front teeth.

That's right, he doesn't have any! Roger and his mother were in a horse trailer accident was he was a young colt (baby horse). His only battle wound was loss of teeth. Extremely minimal considering.



But what teeth he does have, we have to preserve and handle with care. Here the good Doctor was filing down one of his canine teeth.



Have you ever seen the inside of a horse's mouth? Very complex...



Unlike Roger, Bucks has a brilliant set of pearly whites.



Have a lovely weekend!

Sincerely,
Farming Fabulously

Program Note: GATKA (Going Around Town Kissing Ass) Day is on Monday, we are looking forward to seeing everyone. I will be posting some of the recipes that we will be delivering this weekend.

I was shocked to see this photo. To be honest I didn't know horses have a dentist. Let's just say I am glad our dentist doesn't use a drill, lol. I can say I have learned something day.
Have a great one!
