Equine “Wolf Teeth” – What are they and how should they be cared for?

Approximately 70 percent of horses will develop wolf teeth. While these teeth usually do not pose a health risk to the horse, they are often removed in performance horses to prevent interference with the bit and to avoid traumatizing the soft tissues around the teeth leading to soreness. Horsemen differ in opinions on when or if these teeth should be removed, but understanding the physiology of wolf teeth can help individual horse owners make the best personal decision for their horses.

This time, the veteran quarterback couldn't produce the kind of heroics that had burnished his reputation as a gamer a little more than a week ago. As a result, the Steelers still need help if they are to win a fourth AFC North title in five seasons under coach Mike Tomlin and avoid taking the wild-card route in the playoffs. San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith outdueled Roethlisberger, and the 49ers' defense was anything but in the Christmas spirit as San Francisco beat the Steelers, 20-3, in a twice-delayed game at Candlestick Park.
