Equine dentistry has been practiced for almost 3000 years, making it one of the oldest areas of equine health care. Progress has been slow and mirrored changes seen in human medical care. Many horsemen practiced equine dentistry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Most of what was known then concentrated on sharp enamel points and abnormal dental occlusal wear. This changed slowly in the late twentieth century as research in equine dentistry increased. Today, veterinarians performing equine dentistry focus on detailed oral examination and base treatment for proper diagnosis of orthodontic, endodontic, periodontal, or other forms of dental disease.
马牙科已经有近 3000 年的历史，是马术保健中最古老的领域之一。进步缓慢，反映了人类医疗保健的变化。许多骑手在 19 世纪末和 20 世纪初从事马牙科。当时，人们主要关注的是锋利的牙釉质点和异常的牙齿咬合磨损。这种情况在 20 世纪后期随着马牙科研究的增加而缓慢改变。今天，从事马牙科的兽医专注于详细的口腔检查和基础治疗，以正确诊断正畸、牙髓病、牙周病或其他形式的牙科疾病。
