	Determining Age of Horses by Their Teeth
		The art of determining the age of horses by inspection of the teeth is an old one.
		Canine teeth or "tusks" may appear midway between the incisors and molars at 4 or 5 years of age in the case of geldings or stallions, but seldom appear in mares.
		There are four major ways to estimate age of horses by appearance of their teeth: (a) occurrence of permanent teeth, (b) disappearance of cups, (c) angle of incidence, and (d) shape of the surface of the teeth.

		Incisors are the front teeth of the horse, then there is a space we call the bars where the bit rests, and then behind the angle of the mouth and towards the back of the mouth back there is a row of premolars and/or molars or cheek teeth.
		The canine teeth are located in the space beween the incisor row and the molar row (this area is called "the bar"), and the canines in the lower jaw are located a little further towards the incisors than they are in the upper jaw.
		The horse has a wider upper jaw than lower jaw, this will affect the teeth in a way that makes them wear more on the inside of the upper molar and the outside of the inside where there is occlusion.

		As long as there is full lateral movement of the lower jaw and the diet is "horse friendly" the teeth should wear properly; but that is not always the case.

		Horses on alfalfa and less fibrous feeds tend to chew less and the material which they are eating is generally less abrasive.

		The horse may have difficulty chewing and grinding his food, in which case appropriate doses of phenobutezol (bute) should be administered and the horse supplemented with ground feed until the joint stabilizes and the pain subsides.

	Horse911.com / INFO: Float a Horse's Teeth
		Confined horses or those that do not have the ability to graze all day are more prone to teeth overgrowth, as they are not naturally grinding their teeth all day to keep them smooth.
		One sign that your horse's teeth may need to be floated is if she is consistently dropping food from her mouth and you start seeing signs of weight loss.
		Even if your horse does not require her teeth to be floated often, it is still a good idea to have her teeth and gums examined once a year.

	Judging Horse Age from Teeth
		The teeth of horses kept stabled and fed the same kinds of feed are apt to wear in consistent patterns.
		Mature horses between five and 10 years of age were even more likely to be misjudged: Eight- and 10-year-olds were estimated by some experienced clinicians to be between 13 and 15; one six-year-old was judged by one veterinarian to be 12; two eight-year-olds were pegged at 15 by several veterinarians.
		In horses who suffer from abnormality in the way their teeth come together (malocclusion) or deformities such as overbite ("parrot mouth"), corrective dental care can play havoc with aging techniques by filing away all of the markings associated with age.

	Horse teeth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contrary to popular belief, the bit of a bridle is not held between the horse's teeth, but lies in the "interdental space." This space lacks teeth, providing an area for the bit to rest without forcing the jaws open, and occurs between the cheek teeth and the incisors (or canines, should the horse have them).
		Younger horses may seem to have a lumpy jaw, due to the presence of permanent teeth within the jaw.
		It is therefore important that horse owners have a veterinarian check their animals' teeth regularily, to head off any potential issues, and examine the teeth should the horse exhibit any signs of dental problems.

		In this condition, some teeth may be too long relative to the adjacent teeth, and other teeth may be worn down to the gum line.

	Floating Horses Teeth: Why Floating Is Necessary For Horses
		Floating a horse's teeth means to file or rasp their teeth to make the chewing surfaces relatively flat or smooth.
		Since a horse's teeth continually emerge from the gum line for most if its adult life, and because of the unequal widths of the upper and lower jaws, a horse's teeth rarely, if ever, grind off during normal chewing to create a flat surface.
		Floating a horse's teeth, or at least examining the teeth to see if floating or some other care is needed, should be considered as basic a part of routine care for the horse as providing food and water.

		Horse teeth, unlike human teeth, grow continuously at a rate of around 6mm (1/4") a year for all a horse's life and there is a corresponding rate of wear about the same amount on the teeth as the horse chews his food.
		The top teeth cut the inside of his cheek and the lower ones can lacerate his tongue so that eating is painful to such an extent that the horse will avoid this pain, even if this means going hungry.
		Younger horses in work benefit from inspection three or four times a year as their temporary or 'baby' incisors are in the process of being replaced by permanent ones.
