Between 36 and 42 teeth consisting of: 12 incisors (front teeth) which are used for tearing the feed off or grasping it; all twelve incisors erupt as milk teeth and are later replaced by permanent incisors; 24 back teeth (molars) of which the first 12 erupt as milk teeth. The molars are used to finely grind the feed before it is swallowed; 4 canine teeth located between the incisors and the molars; they are commonly called the bridle teeth; these erupt at about 5 years of age in the male horse but are usually absent or very small in the female; 2 wolf teeth positioned just in front of the upper molars; they are very small and are extracted by the Equine Dentist when ready because they cause a lot of problems with the bit; occasionally these teeth can be found in the lower jaw.
