To Support Normal Equine Periodontal Health
Up to 75% of horses over 15 years suffer from periodontal disease.
Early detection and proactive care are vital — left untreated, periodontal disease leads to:
- Discomfort
- Reduced feed efficiency & weight loss
- Behavioural changes
- Tooth loss in advanced stages
Diastemata (gaps between teeth) are a major cause, trapping food, encouraging bacterial growth, and driving chronic oral discomfort.
METRIDENT-EQ: a palatable powder developed by TRM Ireland and De Morette vet clinic, contains calcium sources, vitamin D3, Boswellia serrata, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, Milk Thistle and a source of Nucleotides and Beta-Glucan. It is designed as a supportive therapy alongside veterinary dental care to:
✔ Reduce oral discomfort and irritation associated with periodontal disease
✔ Strengthen immune function — especially in older horses and those with PPID (Cushing’s disease)
✔ Support tissue healing following corrective dental procedures
PILOT STUDY
