Is this dentist, vet or pony being evasive?

Pony seen dentist last week, few sharp edges nothing serious and she to see him in 6mths for check up,

Pony been ridden for 5 days no problem, day 6 pony leaning one side looks like she is grabbing one side of the bit hanging on and not letting go! Removed flash checked fit of bridle etc fitted ok, pony very unhappy on one rein and when on other rein won't turn if you look at bit when she is ridden it's like pony is moving bit to one side of her mouth sucking and not letting go. She is ridden in a copper roller snaffle. I have booked dentist to come back out, could it be anything else?

Shy had the dentist out recently, and had some teething issues and sharp edges - all sorted nicely. But when I tried him with his bit he did exactly the same as your pony, so we reverted to his hackamore, and he was happy as Larry. I have used this in the past when he's been teething and messes with the bit.

Now back with his bit, and all going fine. But do check with the dentist
