Dental Welfare of Your Horse
About Kirsten
– Dr Kirsten Jackson has been passionate about horses and their care since childhood. She is a qualified and highly experienced veterinarian who has continued her education and qualifications in veterinary equine dentistry.
Dr Jackson has worked as an equine veterinarian and during this time, she has treated a wide variety of cases, allowing her to gain a broad knowledge of equine veterinary medicine and surgery.
Dr Jackson gained knowledge in dentistry as she conducted most of those procedures at the practice. She realised dentistry was a huge area of often undiagnosed pain in horses, which led her to complete numerous courses in equine dentistry and develop a keen interest in the subject.
