Course topics will include: dental terminology and vocabulary, the dental formula of the horse, average sequence of eruption and wear of the permanent teeth, average age of shedding caps (deciduous teeth), common dental issues and pathology, skull structure and function, problems associated with teeth concerning health and training, understanding the different approaches and concepts to dental care, bits and working with your client regarding the need for dental care.
