Recomendations for equine dentists in east sussex/ kent borders ?

[irishdraft]

Hi As title I want to get my two youngsters looked at, it will be the first time for them, one of them has been shedding teeth for months ( on and off !! ) they are both 3.5 so lots of tooth activity but want to check everythings ok plus my mare who can be difficult and one of the youngsters is 17.2 and built like a brick ****house, well both are, IDs !!, but the other is a more manageable size. I want someone who is used to dealing with youngsters as I do not want to go down the sedation path unless absolutely necessary. Cheers folks

Chris Keates or Carl Duggan. Carl breeds his own horses so is used to handling youngsters and he's been doing my WB since she was 2 - including wolf teeth removal.

I always use Rob Pascoe from Bell Equine vets. He is a vet as well as a qualified equine dentist and he also sits on the exam board. He gets referred a lot of difficult or unusual dental cases from all over UK, so there isn't much he hasn't seen and dealt with! He is also very good at handling the horses.

I wouldn't use anyone else!

No- Carl is not from Cliffe Vets- although I believe one of their Vets is called Karl and is a qualified EDT.

As others have mentoned above, Carl Duggan is most excellent with the horses, very kind and quiet, does a good job- he has done my horses teeth for years and I can certainly recommend him.

Rob Pascoe at Bell Equine is an excellent equine dentist and one of the best dental specialists in the country.

Steve Neighbour has been doing my horses for years and is very good at handling youngsters and bolshy/rude horses without sedation.

Cliffe Equine, Laughton have 2 EDT Karl and Penny. They are both fantastic. Penny recently came out to sort out my new 5 year olds, untreated teeth. He had never had anything like this done before and Penny kept him calm and quiet throughout.
Highly recommend them both.

Iwould strongly recommend Cafl Duggan. We bought a 5 year old ex racehorse whose teeth were in appalling condition, he was very nervous and Carl suggested sedation which only had minimal effect but Carl was so gentle and patient with him, he took his time and let dallas rest for short spells as it was clear his teeth had been badly neglected. I think IDs will be no problem for him.
