One of the primary services offered by Dr. Judd and Equine Veterinary Service is equine dentistry. For many years, Dr. Judd has participated in conferences and working toward certification with the International Association of Equine Dentistry (IAED). Many regard the IAED as the premier organization representing equine dental technicians and veterinarians in equine dentistry. We approach equine dentistry with the goal of balancing the equine mouth.
The Equine Dentistry Article, provided below, was written by Dr. Thomas Judd, and discusses many of the common questions about dentistry for your horse. This article also explains certain terms and conditions in greater detail.
