Seek veterinary advice if you suspect this disease.

Wave mouth is a dental condition commonly seen in horses, in which the molars develop a wavy or undulating appearance.

Symptoms

Treatment

The treatment for wave mouth typically involves correcting the bite and reshaping the molars through a process called “floating”. In some cases, dental surgery may be necessary if the issue is severe.

Prevention

Prevention of wave mouth can be accomplished by providing proper nutrition and dental care, as well as avoiding improper bit use and monitoring the horse’s behavior.
