EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, dentists proudly display the gleaming teeth of a horse after giving them a meticulous polish in Bogota. Beyond their work with human patients, these skilled professionals in Colombia extend their dental services to horses involved in equestrian competitions. The treatments provided for these majestic creatures encompass various procedures such as creating customized moulds and fixtures to rectify issues related to tooth alignment and underbite. To ensure optimal oral health, a horse typically undergoes treatment twice a month over a span of six months. Each session comes at a cost of $170, highlighting the dedication and expertise required for equine dental care. The image showcases an unrecognizable dentist wearing medical gloves while showcasing the remarkable results achieved through their diligent efforts. This photograph not only captures the close-up view of the horse's teeth but also emphasizes the creative use of depth of field, with some elements intentionally blurred in order to draw attention solely towards this fascinating aspect of veterinary medicine. It serves as a reminder that our responsibility towards animal welfare extends beyond domestic pets and into every corner where humans interact with animals. John Vizcaino's lens beautifully encapsulates this unique intersection between dentistry and equestrianism, shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of veterinary care while celebrating both human ingenuity and nature's magnificent creations.
