My poor horse fractured her tooth, a molar tooth from the top jaw, took the vet 3 hours to pull the tooth out, and very lucky the tooth came out whole, she was nerve blocked on both sides of her jaw and heavily sedated. she is doing well now, as tucked up in the stable at Liphook till next week. The staff at Liphook are fantastic.
After the Op.... poor bee

The vet had a very big smile on his face after he pulled the tooth whole, and me too as if it broke she was booked to go into theatre. she was so sedated i felt a bit worried for her.... 3 hrs of pulling....phew
 
Wow, glad shes ok and it came out in one. Lucky you. My horse had the same but it broke and he had to have a GA and a flap of bone taken from the side of his face to knock the tooth from the outside in.
