My polo mare who is 8 was kicked in the sinus as a foal and as a result has been left with a hole in her cheek bone which leaks pus all the time and has likely damaged one of her back teeth. She's lived with it for 8 years and I got my vet/ dentist to check it out and they said it may need to be x-rayed to see if the tooth needs removing as its hard to see just looking in the her mouth. She's a little head shy but according to her breeder so was her mother so we don't know if its psin causing it or just behavioural .. I don't know what to do as I can't afford thousands on dental work which would include a full blown op to go in and remove the tooth but it is worrying me that she might be in pain. Insurance I'm sure wont cover it as its a Pre-existing condition .. What would you do ?
