Professional Equine Dental Equipment & Instruments
MHAY Industries supplies professional-grade equine dental equipment trusted by veterinarians and certified equine dentists worldwide. Our collection brings together everything from complete equine dentistry tools to individual instruments — all designed for clinical precision, field durability, and ergonomic handling.
Whether you are outfitting a new practice or upgrading your existing setup, our range of equine dental instruments covers every stage of examination, floating, and corrective dental work.
Why Equine Dental Care Cannot Be Overlooked
A horse's dental health has a direct impact on nutrition, performance, and comfort. Sharp enamel points, uneven molar wear, and bit discomfort are all preventable conditions when the right equine dentistry equipment is used consistently.
Regular dental maintenance — ideally every 6 to 12 months — supports:
-
Efficient chewing and forage utilisation
-
Proper bit contact and rideability
-
Reduced risk of colic related to poor digestion
-
Long-term weight maintenance and body condition
The right horse dental equipment makes examinations faster, procedures safer, and outcomes more consistent for both the practitioner and the horse.
Our Equine Dental Equipment Range
Flat Shaft Float Kit – Complete
A comprehensive equine dental float kit engineered for practitioners who demand precision access across all molar tables. Flat shaft floats reduce fatigue during long procedures and allow controlled contact on both upper and lower arcades. Ideal for routine floating and corrective dental work.
Classic Round Shaft Float Kit – Complete
The traditional choice for equine dentists who prefer a familiar grip profile. Round shaft floats offer consistent feel during rasping and are among the most widely used equine dentistry tools in clinical practice. A dependable workhorse in any professional kit.
Basic Equine Dental Float Rasp Kit
Entry-level equine dental equipment without compromise on quality. This kit covers essential hand floats and rasps for routine maintenance, making it the ideal starting point for new practitioners or mobile dental services handling straightforward procedures.
Equine Dental Kit – Basic
A compact, professionally curated set of equine dental instruments for practitioners focused on routine examinations and basic floating. Lightweight, easy to transport, and built from veterinary-grade materials throughout.
Equine Dental Kit – Middle Range
A step up in versatility, the Middle Range kit provides a broader selection of equine dental products — covering more tooth surfaces and float configurations. Well-suited for practitioners seeing a growing caseload or expanding their service offering.
Equine Dental Kit – Advanced
For experienced equine dentists handling complex or high-volume casework, the Advanced Kit includes multiple float types, additional rasp configurations, and the full instrument range needed for corrective procedures. A complete professional toolkit in a single purchase.
Equine Dental Halters — Positioned for Procedure
Equine dental halters are a critical but often underestimated piece of equipment. A properly designed equine dental halter supports the horse's head at the correct height during examination and floating, reducing muscle fatigue for the practitioner and discomfort for the horse.
MHAY Industries' dental halters are constructed from durable materials with adjustable straps and secure hardware — suitable for horses of varying head sizes, from ponies to large breeds. When paired with our dental float kits, they form a complete, professional procedural setup.
Key features of our equine dental halters:
-
Adjustable nose band for accurate head positioning
-
Durable construction that withstands repeated sterilisation
-
Compatible with both clinic-based and mobile field use
-
Comfortable fit to minimise horse resistance during treatment
Complete Kits vs. Individual Equine Dental Instruments
Purchasing a complete equine dental instrument kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing compatible tools separately. All instruments within each MHAY kit are matched for compatibility and workflow efficiency — so you spend less time managing inventory and more time delivering quality care.
Individual equine dental instruments are also available for replacing worn components or building a customised setup around an existing tool collection.
Suitable for Clinic and Field Use
All MHAY Industries equine dentistry equipment is designed with both environments in mind. Compact kit configurations, robust construction, and easy-clean materials ensure reliable performance whether you are working in an equine hospital or visiting stables on a mobile call.
Practitioners across the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond rely on our horse dental equipment for day-to-day clinical use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equine dental equipment do I need to start floating horses?
A beginner practitioner needs at minimum a set of hand floats (up, straight, and down angles), a dental rasp, and a working headstand or equine dental halter to position the horse safely. MHAY Industries' Basic Float Rasp Kit and Basic Dental Kit are ideal starting points that include all essential equine dentistry tools in a single purchase.
What is the difference between equine dental floats and equine dental rasps?
Dental floats are hand-held instruments with a flat, angled working head used to reduce sharp enamel points on molar tables — a process called floating. Rasps are the interchangeable or fixed abrasive elements attached to the float head. Both terms are often used interchangeably, but a complete set of equine dental instruments will include handles, float heads, and rasps suitable for different tooth surfaces.
What are equine dental halters used for?
An equine dental halter is a specialised headcollar designed to suspend and support the horse's head at a consistent, ergonomic height during dental procedures. Unlike standard headcollars, equine dental halters feature an adjustable nose band and suspension point that allows the practitioner to work comfortably on both arcades without an assistant holding the horse's head manually.
Which equine dental kit is best for an experienced equine dentist?
Experienced practitioners handling varied and complex casework benefit most from the Advanced Equine Dental Kit, which includes multiple float shaft styles, additional rasp configurations, and a full range of equine dental instruments for corrective work. The Middle Range kit is a strong choice for practitioners seeing regular but not highly complex caseloads.
Are your equine dental instruments suitable for field use?
Yes. All MHAY Industries equine dentistry equipment is constructed for both clinic and field environments. Kits are compact and built from materials that withstand field conditions, repeated sterilisation, and the demands of mobile equine dental practice.
Do you ship equine dental equipment internationally?
Yes. MHAY Industries ships equine dental products worldwide. Our horse dental equipment is used by practitioners across the UK, Europe, North America, the Middle East, and beyond. Shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location.
What materials are your equine dental instruments made from?
Our equine dental instruments are manufactured from high-quality, veterinary-grade stainless steel. This ensures corrosion resistance, ease of sterilisation, and long-term durability under professional use conditions.
Can I buy individual equine dental instruments rather than a full kit?
Yes. While our complete kits offer the best value and guaranteed compatibility, individual equine dental instruments and replacement components are available for practitioners who need to supplement or replace specific tools within an existing setup.
