Mine was sedated, not numbed, just so wasnt a bad experience for him and safer for the dentist, would be not nice to do it unsedated particularly if they have to dig a bit for roots x

I think they need sedating, especially as my vet had to use a small hammer to loosen the teeth

You will need the vet to sedate your pony. As far as Im aware, legally they need to be sedated to remove a wolf tooth. Occasionaly they do fall out if they arnt deep rooted, whilst the dentist is floating/rasping. But if you are having the dentist with the intention of having them removed, then your pony will need sedating. You could phone your vet to clarify the situation. Pony here was sedated to do in the summer, and vets bill was about £40 so not too bad really. And better than having a frightened pony mext time it needs a rasping

they do need to be sedated, as someone said earlier its true the are not deep-rooted, they are very shallow, and they soemtimes fall out when teeth being rasped, but this is only sometimes, so def for sedation, also what do you mean about numbing? is the dentist proposing to numb them? i wouldnt have thought he could legally do that, and if the vet is going to individually sedate the gum/teeth i would think it wuold be just a lot easier to sedate the horse as a whole cos i cant see a horse taking very kindly to injections in his mouth? i would double check with your vet, good luck i have had 2 done and it was a quick painless job done by vet (recommended by dentist) and horse lighlty sedated

my youngster was heavily sedated and had local anaesthetic , as they were deep rooted , i would certainly consult your vet on this matter , my horse dentist wouldnt consider removing woolf teeth without sedation , for his sake and the ponies , you never kn ow how deep they are , and remember you want to be able to handle the pony round the mouth again without him remembering what happened

my 8 year old mare had hers out few weeks ago, she was lightly sedated and local anesthetic given vet told me can t tell how deep rooted they are until they start the removal (unless they have x-rays done) i would never trust a dentist who would remove them without sedation thats barbaric in my book! surely no proper edt would attempt this?
