Product overview
Equine dental floats: heads, blades and handle length.
A float is a long rasp used to file down the sharp points that form on the edges of horse teeth. The cutting head is mounted on a long handle so it can reach the cheek teeth at the back of the mouth. Heads come in straight and angled forms for different parts of the arcade, and blades are often replaceable.
Blade material and tooth pattern, head angle and width, and handle length and shape are the main points to confirm. Carbide blades hold an edge longer than plain steel. Floating is done by equine veterinarians and qualified equine dental technicians. We work from your reference piece. A float is often used with an equine molar extracting forceps in dental work.
Straight and angled headsHead forms for different tooth positions.
