Teeth and snot

[poiuytrewq]

Can someone explain the link please between teeth problems and snotty noses (one side only, sudden onset)

Basically the roots of the upper jaw cheek teeth are in the sinuses.

So if there is a problem with molars it coul give a snotty nose?

 

[Leo Walker]

yes. Its not uncommon for a cracked tooth to only be found once it progresses to the snotty nose stage.

Years ago my horse had one sided snot, it turned out he had a fractured molar which had to be removed.

I lost my gorgeous young horse to sinusitis which manifested as one nostril discharging pus. He had been over rasped and had a bit seat formed whilst still in Ireland and I have speculated that allowed the ingress of infection. His hooves looked very peculiar when he arrived, I can only describe them as stepped, but looked super after my farrier redid them. Apparently you don't need qualification or registration to practice as a farrier over there so perhaps it is the same with EDT. With hindsight I would have pushed my vet to plan treatment a lot faster but his fairly relaxed attitude and the fact that Quigley didn't appear ill in himself made me believe it was more of a nuisance, like a head cold, than a serious condition. Horse pus looks like snot I now know.

Qualifications are needed for both farriers and EDT's in Ireland. However vets often do teeth instead of EDT's and ime don't do them well.

You can also get sinusitis (foul smelling discharge) from one or two nostrils with no tooth involvement.

My mare just had a one-sided snot problem, which turned out to be a large blockage of pus in her sinuses, poor girl. They xray first usually to check if it is a broken tooth, abscess etc draining into the sinus and thus causing the snotty nose problem.
