Two horse vets from Fairfield Equine Services performing a dental exam on a horse

Regular dental care is essential to the long-term health of the horse. Horse’s teeth continuously erupt throughout their life leaving them prone to developing sharp points and hooks. This can result in soft tissue trauma within the mouth, poor performance, and weight loss.

A routine oral examination by a veterinarian is crucial to keep our equine partners in good body condition and performing at their peak. Our veterinarians provide compassionate, low-stress care for high performance athletes as well as companion and geriatric horses.

Fairfield equine provides routine and advanced dental care in the field as well as in hospital. Dental specialist, Robert Barrett DVM, MS, FAVD, DAVDC, DAVDC/EQ, works closely with our surgeons to manage complex cases that require oral surgery.
