Welcome Back!
UPDATE - The felony charge against Bobby Griswold has been
dropped! he was fined $500 and 8 months probation. We are
thrilled to hear this exciting news and wish the best for Bobby and
his family!
Senate Bill 452 which includes language to reverse the law passed
unanimously through the Oklahoma House and Senate and was signed into
law by Governor Brad Henry on May 21, 09. This was a huge victory for teeth
floaters in Oklahoma! The law will revert back to misdemeanor status 90 days
from the date the bill was signed. In the meantime, an interim study has been
initiated which will allow our legislators to come up with a solution that will
work for everyone. The study will take place over the summer and will include
participants from all sides of the spectrum.
At this time we are happy to work on your horses under the supervision of a
veterinarian. As you already know, most veterinarians do not float teeth and
fortunately most are happy to oblige when asked to supervise. We can work
in any clinic or in the field as long as a veterinarian is on hand to provide
adequate supervision. Veterinarians who respect the wishes of their clients
realize the importance of professional dental equilibration in horses and are
usually happy to do so. If your vet does not respect your wishes, then
perhaps it's time to find a different vet. We wouldn't be able to work if it
weren't for the veterinarians who realize the importance of our job and
support our work.
We are Equine Dental Technicians, not veterinarians. We have been
professionally trained specifically in Equine Dentistry. At this time we can
ONLY work under the direct supervision of a veterinarian. If you would like to
make an appointment, please contact your vet for approval before contacting
us. We will need to schedule a time that your vet will be available to come to
your place or that we can meet you at his/her clinic. After November of this
year, we will be able to work freely and will be happy to once again make farm
calls at that time!ank you for supporting us! We work very hard to provide the
best equine dental care available and we would like to continue to do so.
| Proper dental care will add many productive years to the performance, showing and breeding career of your horses. |
| Because we are professionally trained Equine Dental Technicians (NOT veterinarians) we cannot work without veterinary supervision at this time. We perform dental work for several different veterinarians in Oklahoma and are happy to speak to yours about our services as well. We are happy to work in any vet clinic as long as a supervising veterinarian is available. Many Oklahoma equine hospitals and clinics utilize the services of non-veterinary dental technicians for their clients' dental needs. Fewer than 15% of Oklahoma veterinarians provide this service and there are nearly 400,000 horses in this state, which is why the services of non-DVM dental technician's are sought after by the horse-owning public. You should NEVER use an Equine Dental Technician who did not come highly recommended from someone you know and trust. Knowledge is key. |
WHAT WE DO
The number one goal of any equine dental technician should be to help provide optimum dental care for
all horses and to educate horse owners on its importance - which is what we do!
We use the most modern techniques and equipment on the market. It's not enough anymore to just
"float" teeth and there's much more to it than just pulling the tongue to the side and taking a quick look.
We use a full mouth speculum, which enables us to conduct a thorough examination of the entire mouth
as well as to reach far into your horses mouth to eliminate all of the hooks, points, sharp edges and other
problems that cause horses discomfort and pain. We also utilize the most innovative tools available and
are proficient in the latest techniques, which allows us to complete each job efficiently, causing little to
no stress for the horse and a much better overall result. We thoroughly check each horse's mouth for
occlusion during and upon completion of our work to make sure that he/she will get the most use from
his or her mouth.
We offer a complete mobile service throughout Oklahoma and across the United States.

and we apologize for any inconvenience.
As you may know, the law was changed last
November and teeth floating (by anyone
who is not a veterinarian) became a felony
offense in the state of Oklahoma. One teeth
floater was set-up in a sting operation,
arrested and charged with a felony. Since
his arrest, we have been working diligently
trying to get the law reversed.
