Dentistry. Do horses need dental exams? YES! Horses teeth continuely grow throughout their lives. When they are foals, as they age young teeth known as "caps" fall out or in some cases have to be removed to allow the adult teeth to make their way in. Also, small teeth known as Wolf Teeth often appear. It is important to remove these teeth at a young age since they are positioned where a bit would sit in the horse's mouth.
