Question
My three-year old just had her dental exam and it was found
she had broken a molar. I'm curious if this tooth that was pulled will
be replaced.
Thanks
very much.

Answer
Hi Liz, It is impossible for me to tell you; not knowing which molar was involved. Young horses do have juvenile molars and the caps do come off as they get older. Talk to veterinarian, he or she can tell you the answer to your question.
Best of luck,
Jennifer MacLeay, DVM, Ph.D.
