While searching for more positive, healthy alternatives to care for her own horses, she discovered Neuromuscular Dentistry and was immediately enamored with it. She became a certified Neuromuscular Dentist in 2014. Suzzi thoroughly enjoys educating about the importance of dentition and the affect it has on the whole body. In 2018, she was given the opportunity to present Neuromuscular Dentistry for the Equine at the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics’ (ICCMO) national conference. Suzzi continues to immerse herself in studying the art and science that Neuromuscular Dentistry encompasses. She focuses her passion on increasing research in her field by specializing in the study of how the teeth affect proprioception, mobility, performance, and overall health of the horse.
