Our Methods

The key to NEDP Practitioners' methods is the highly accurate and non-invasive examination of the oral cavity by means of palpative assessment. This is then followed by precise, considerate and gentle treatment that horses accept very well.

Equipment used is of a high quality and facilitates the efficient performance of comprehensive equine dental procedures. No power-floats or motorised files are used. Our practitioners avoid stress to patients by avoiding the use of routine sedation, crushes and mechanical head restraints. Stress and injury are also avoided by opening the mouth only a small amount.
