Between the age of 21/2 and 41/2 years of age, the horse will shed 24 baby teeth — both premolars (cheek) and incisor (front) teeth. These teeth are replaced by adult teeth. The first teeth to change will be the central incisors — both upper and lower.

Teeth, Age and Bits. A foal will have grown his first 24 baby teeth, deciduous teeth, by nine months. By 12 months he will grow his first set of permanent molars. It will take four to five years for a young horse to loose all his baby teeth and replace them with the permanent adult horse teeth.

Published in Australian Stock Horse Journal March-April 2004. As with much of the horse's body, the most important age for its mouth is the teething period, where it changes from primary (deciduous or baby) dentition to secondary (permanent or adult) teeth.

An adult horse has 36 teeth: 12 incisors, 12 premolars and 12 molars. A foal will have 24 teeth: 12 incisors and 12 premolars. He may also have up to 4 wolf teeth and a set of 4 canine teeth. The wolf teeth come in at about 5 to 6 months of age.

Most male horses will have canine teeth and some mares will too. If a horse grows canine teeth they will erupt at about 4 years of age. These small pointed teeth grow just a little bit behind the incisors on the bars of the horse’s mouth. They generally do not interfere with the bit.

Incisors and Canines. Horses will start to get their permanent incisors when they are about 2-1/2 years old. The middle set of incisors is the first to grow in. The second set of incisors should come in around 3-1/2 years old, and the outside set of incisors should come in around 4-1/2 years old. The adult canine teeth come in between 4-5 years of age. All horses can, but not all horses do have canine teeth. Mares are less likely to have canine teeth, but it is possible.

As horses get older, their baby teeth (caps) start to fall out and their adult (permanent) teeth start to come in. You may find a lost cap, but most of the time horses swallow their baby teeth (or lose them out in the pasture somewhere). Swallowing caps does not cause any problems for horses.

Horse Teeth and the Galvayne’s Groove. At about the age of 10, the upper corner incisors begin to show a groove at the gum line. This is the Galvayne’s groove. Over the next 10 years the groove will grow all the way down the length of the tooth.

Several months later the second premolars (1st cheek teeth) — upper and lower are shed. The secondary premolars will erupt between 21/2 and 4 years of age — during which time the horse may experience discomfort and pain — both when eating and when ridden.
