Equine Dentistry: Large ulcer and fractured cheek tooth

This photo is of a 29 year old QH gelding.ย  He was having trouble chewing and was loosing weight.ย  That is one of the largest cheek ulcers I have seen.ย  And the fractured tooth had to be painful as well.ย  We removed the loose part of the fractured tooth and smoothed-off the sharp enamel points.ย  This guy will be able to chew much better and start gaining weight in a month or so.
