Do all horses need their teeth floated?
Yes, all domesticated horses need regular dental care, in addition to their regular veterinary and farrier visits. Even a horse in good body condition should have his mouth evaluated. Horses do not always show pain the way humans do, and a “good doer” may keep its weight , even though its mouth is causing him discomfort. A horse that is not able to chew properly is also at risk for colic, TMJ syndrome, and weight loss.
