What this sheet is for

Keep a dental history so that changes in a horse's mouth are tracked rather than rediscovered every couple of years.

Who it is for

Owners, yards and equine dental technicians keeping client records.

How to use it

  1. Record who did it and what qualification they hold.
  2. Write the findings, not just that a rasp was used.
  3. Note sedation and by whom it was given.
  4. Record eating or bitting problems between visits — that is the useful column.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Who is allowed to do equine dentistry?

That is regulated in many countries, and the line between what a technician may do and what requires a vet differs. Some procedures require sedation, which is a veterinary act almost everywhere. Check what applies where you are.

How often is a dental check needed?

It depends on the horse's age, teeth and work, and your vet or technician sets it. No interval is printed.
