Veterinary Dental Float

Veterinary dental floats are specialized dental instruments used in veterinary dentistry. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

A dental float is a handheld tool that is used to file or smooth down the sharp edges or points on a horse's teeth. It is commonly used in equine dentistry to correct dental abnormalities, remove sharp enamel points, and maintain proper dental health in horses.

The dental float consists of a handle and a working end. The working end typically has a flat or curved surface with a rough texture, such as a rasp or file. This rough surface allows the veterinarian or equine dentist to gently file down the sharp edges or points on the horse's teeth without causing any harm or discomfort.

Using a dental float helps to prevent dental issues such as ulcers, sores, and difficulty in chewing or eating. It also promotes proper alignment of the horse's teeth, which is essential for maintaining overall oral health.

In summary, veterinary dental floats are dental instruments used in equine dentistry to file down sharp edges or points on a horse's teeth. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.
