Equine Dentistry & insurance

[Dovorian]

Is non routine dentistry covered by insurance? By routine I mean more than the usual check and rasp. Our chap has had to have some major 'power tool' work and the bill is huge + he needs a repeat performance in the new year?

The work was done under vet's supervision by the way.

Mine had to have major power tool work and has to this time too 6 months later. Im not sure if insurance would pay out i would doubt it but im not sure. Hope so if your bill was big, not nice having all these bills!!

I think that the insurance company would pay, however if your horse is unfortunate to get something like a tooth abscess later on (which can be very expensice) I imagine they will put a clause on any oral procedures

Might pay for the first yea , check your policy details but be aware they will almost definately exclude it for the future!!!!
