no but it is best. the wolf teeth can make the horses mouth very senstive and is not good with a bite and the wolf teeth brake very easyly so it is best to get them out before you brake..

Young horses (under the age of 5) should have their teeth floated twice a year. After the age of 5, once a year. The front teeth overlap each other and stay worn smooth, but the back teeth do not and get very sharp. Not only is it painful for your horse to chew, a bit can be torture.
To check the teeth stand in front of your horse and use your left thumb to feel the right side teeth (and vice versa). Reach to the back of the jaw. If you feel sharp edges, so does your horse.

A horse can get very upset from having problems with his teeth, because he is more likely to be constantly hungry. Talk to your vet.

Erm, it's probably good to just to get him checked over but if he's never had problems they are probably OK.
