Periodontitis is the main dental affection affecting the horses, having a larger number of animals over 6 years of age.It is an inflammation of the periodontium, which due to the lack of periodicity of the dental examination in most equines, is not diagnosed early, hindering more conservative and efficient therapeutic interventions. Routine appointments are extremely important to diagnose this type of problem, minimize patient pain and provide comfort in your chewing.The oral health becomes important to avoid any digestive problems, interfering positively in the performance and in the corporal score of the animal.
