Tooth Be Told: Equine Dentistry Essentials and Case Study with Dr. Katelyn McNichol

Join EquiConnect's latest episode where Dr. Mike Pownall and Karen Foell team up with dental enthusiast and McKee-Pownall associate veterinarian, Dr. Katelyn McNichol to get the whole tooth (and nothing but the tooth) about equine dentistry. From tooth anatomy and prevalent dental issues to the critical role of preventive care in horses they explore why your horse's smile matters more than you might think. Plus, hear the fascinating tale of Teddy, a horse whose toothache turned into a much bigger headache - literally! Dr. McNichol walks us through the diagnosis and treatment of a sinus infection secondary to a tooth root infection. While this episode may make you the most informed person at the barn when it comes to dental care, remember: this podcast is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional veterinary care.
