do you use a hand file or the drill?

I had my horse get his teeth done the first few times by the vet who used a drill and he flipped shit. Ended up having to be heavily sedated and would be derpy and fucked up for at least a day. After we found an Equine Dentist who used files, he never had to be sedated. It took much longer, but he seemed much happier, and we went from floats every 6 months to floats once a year.

Just wondering what your specialty is.

Also, are you qualified to administer sedatives? There was a huge issue where I live with a dentist who administered a sedative improperly, nicked a vein in the neck and killed the horse. EDs are no longer permitted to adminster intravenous sedatives here, and that man ended up having to pay out over a million dollars and shut down his practice. Is it the same in the UK, or do you receive training for that?
