to read this above cited article...you WILL for the next one I cite, tho I think the guys will like it...dunno..just an 'intuition' thing.

This site is about 'horse dentistry'...far more crude than people work. It helps keep life in perspective. Keep in mind that horse teeth grow differently from human teeth [also some other livestocks] in that the enamels and dentines are growing upwards in layers like a sandwich, different from human teeth which are covered by the enamels and softer parts are inside. Overbite in an animal takes on a whole new meaning...and I don't think orthodonture is 'there' yet for creatures...tho it's coming along for pets such as dogs.

The site is just for the picture factors...compare this to your dentists?

Having owned a horse..yep that's what it's like. Files, hammers chisels..whole works. Thank goodness neuro's, even the worst I've encountered, aren't like this!
That appliance in the horse mouth? It's a levered thing that cranks open the mouth to work in. It's a powerful thing...

Painless dentists are definitely preferred...they have come a loong way. - j
