Course Length: 2 Hours 20 Minutes

Equine dentistry is about more than just floating teeth—it’s about optimizing whole-body balance and performance. In this Team Talk, Allie Lait takes us into the intricacies of the equine mouth, the TMJ (temporomandibular joint), and the powerful downstream effects dental imbalance can have on movement and performance.

This session offers a detailed look at the functional anatomy of the equine jaw, how compensatory patterns develop from dental asymmetry, and what you can do to support your horse through informed, proactive care. Allie will also compare wild vs. domestic equine dental wear, explore cause-and-effect relationships, and guide participants through building an effective dental care program for their horses.

Topics Covered:
Understanding the equine mouth
TMJ function and biomechanics
Wild vs. domestic dental wear
How dental imbalance impacts movement
Compensatory effects and performance issues
