What is floating a horses teeth? It's a dental procedure preformed by a large animal veterinarian. The purpose of floating is to remove sharp points that have developed on the teeth, and encourage an even grinding pattern to aid in digestion. I find it interesting that a horse's teeth never stop growing. Itâs kind of like having a giant hamster!
Floating a horse's teeth means to file or rasp their teeth to make the chewing surfaces relatively flat or smooth. The type of file used for this is called a float, which is where the procedure gets its name. Below: One type of file, or float, for smoothing the teeth of a horse.
