Dear Carol, It sounds to me that your mare has gone sour which can happen on occasions. She is telling you she needs a spell and a fresh start. Teeth do need to be checked every six months for riding horses.

Dear Jane, The roots have to be removed to prevent infection. It is not a dangerous procedure but can be costly. It was a botched up extraction in the first place,

I am curious about treatment. The article lists symptoms but no fixes. Has any one had any success figuring out the actual problem they have written about or are you all just inquiring about the possibility of oral related health issues? Are there products out there that are being used to either prevent decay, are there practices being followed for care? Where else can I find information on the subject? Thanks, and good luck to all of you figuring out your horse's problems. Susan

I have a six yr old Mare who has always been very kind and gentle and affectionate up until this past summer. Now she is downright mean! she charges at everyone who goes near her. I see she has 2 wolf teeth coming in and she has an appointment to have them removed. Could the wolf teeth be causing her to act this way? I use a hackmore when I ride her and she's fine undersaddle but she moves away from me and tries to bite when she's being groomed. It's like she doesn't want to be touched.

Is it common to have a cracked molar be removed and have the roots of that molar stay in the socket/bone? I have an older horse (15) that was losing alot of weight and took him to my vet and he said that the molar came out but not the root so now he suggests that we remove it by surgery. Is this very common and dangerous? Would it be best to see if my horse could get along without the surgery or do I take a chance of pain and infection both for him? Do horses ever get along ok without removal of the root?

I have a 4 yr old mare that drops lots of her grain when eating. I have started her under saddle and she is very sensitive in the mouth other then that no other symptoms. My question is she seems OFF I am not real sure where but maybe the left front she doesn't extend at the trot and keeps her head high she does this under saddle and when she is just trotting in the field she has never had an injury or swelling that I know of I am wondering if it could be her teeth affecting her movement. Thanks Angela
