EOTRH-Equident Toothbrush

[Doc-t]

I don’t believe that brushing the teeth is necessary with Equident because this using this product are reporting very good results without the need to brush.

I do remove calculus from the canines when floating. I am reconsidering this because the calculus is there for a reason – it is protecting the place where the lectins are entering. I think the better approach is to block further inflammation from the lectins by binding them before entering.

If you do get the toothbrush, please let me know your results from using it.

I started my 24 year old, Khan, on Equident on April 23rd. The attached photo was taken on June 8th. I see a huge improvement in a short amount of time. Please note the first photo I posted in March shows what looks like plaque around his teeth. Turns out it was just soybean meal. :0 I will continue giving him Equident and update his progress periodically.

The improvement is remarkable! I have a client with progress images seeing the same results even though she refuses to eliminate grain. This indicates (but in no way proves) that lectins may be responsible for the disease.

My thought on the incisor tarter or the reduced cleaning of the labial (and often lingual) side of the incisors is that the teeth are becoming painful to tongue pressure. With the reduction of inflammation brought on with the Equident, the tongue is now able to clean under the lips.

Have you seen an improvement in attitude or any other indicator of reduced pain?

Doc T,

I do not normally feed carrots but it was the only test I could come up with. Prior to treatment he would not bit a large carrot, now he will. This is a very food motivated horse, him being unwilling to take a carrot and bite it was a huge red flag.

Biting a carrot is a classic test for incisor pain from EOTRH. It truly is a “huge red flag” when they cannot bite it in two. Thanks for this info!
