Tooth stuck out at an angle

[IWantAShetland]

Arrived at the field to see the old pony yesterday and noticed a pretty sizeable lump just below his cheek bone, eating happy enough and no obvious discomfort so left him be, left the vets a message today so awaiting a call back to arrange an appointment for him.

Went to check him today, child free do was able to have a good feel and poke about and I'm about 99% certain he had a tooth stuck out at an odd angle as opposed an actual lump in his face.

Slightly ashamed to say hes never seen a dentist (hes a childhood pony and my mum never saw the point, hes never been on the same yard as the posh pony so never included in visits) and he doesn't stable well at all (or do anything else with out a bloody drama). Any suggestions on how to either calm him enough to be in a stable and allow the vet to sedate him or how else to contain him to allow the vet to look at him.
The covid situation isnt helping matters as the vets policy is horses must already be stable for when the vet arrives, with anyone else outside the stable and 2 metres away but as soon as I do that he'll start box walking and working him self up, and he certainly wont tie up in a stable to be sedated.
The whole thing is going to be stressful all round, any suggestions on how to manage the whole thing to make it easier for everyone involved.

You could give him some dormosedan gel (Or sedalin but in my experience it didn’t work) from the vet that you give him prior to the vet arriving.

He really used to fight the effects of sedalin when he seriously injured him self years ago, is dormosedan gel more effective?

Much more effective. Sedalin, even a double dose, didn’t touch Robin. Attempted several times. Dormosedan has him away with the fairies in no time. Of course it’s about 3 times as expensive but it really does the job.

My horse had a similar thing. I got him in to ride and was putting his bridle on when I noticed, 3 of his incisors were pointing out instead of up.
He seemed pretty normal, grazing eating hard feed etc ok. So I sent photos to my dentist (it was a Sunday evening) he came out the following day and sent us to the vets.
The vet thought he had bitten something, probably something wooden, got his teeth stuck freaked out and pulled back. They said it was a common injury with haynets but mine did it turned out. I never found what on.
xrays showed the teeth were snapped below the gumline.

Well what I thought was possibly a tooth turned out to be a stick wedged in his teeth and into his gums ?
The vet was fantastic though and was quite happy to look at him just out side his field, a dose of sedalin and he was fine so no drama at all.
