Wolf Teeth 

Wolf Teeth can sit in the middle of each side of the horse’s jaw, between the incisors or biting teeth that fit in front of the bit, and the chewing or molar teeth at the back of the mouth behind the bit, they are usually tiny and not easy to see

 

Wolf teeth removal has been customary practice, displaced or sharp wolf teeth can cause pain on the cheeks when pressure is put on by the bit and bridle, some wolf teeth do become loose, diseased or associated with persistent ulceration, which may cause pain.  The presence of a wolf tooth can affect the rasping of molars to form a bit seat and there are cases where wolf teeth problems have been blamed for all sorts of horrors, such as headshaking and bolting.
