You can tell a bit about the health of a horse by the state of their teeth.

Does this mean that a pony dentist would be the equivalent of a general practitioner?

This keeps me up at night.

What do you think?

probably not, since they clearly have seperate dentists and doctors in equestria.

5683685 Maybe, but we should remember that these ponies are magical being and likely to have many more differences than just being fully self aware. The magical nature of their world and universe does change many things. We don't know what beyond what we've already seen and heard I'll grant that much. So it may or may not be that case.

This is one of those things that will come down to each writer's interpretation I think.

5683691 Yeah... I guess that's true. But they could be general medicine types.
5684119 haven't seen the episode, so I'll take your word for it.
5684183 Once again, fair point.

5685011 I make an effort.

5685258 And that sets you apart from the lurkers

5685265 *shudders* Lurkers.

5685564 Except maybe Skeeter... but then again, who knows.

5686635 I can't say really, I just don't know.

5686957 Neither do I, so I suppose it remains a mystery,

5688372 I did know we have a mystery wandering around FIMfiction. Well that's life for you.

5688595 Yup, life is full of mysteries, and I'm bored, so I'm gonna poke it with a stick

5688651 Eep.

5688948 It's a long stick, and it's got a knobby bit at the end, so it isn't sharp.
Shouldn't be too mad...

5689909 Never underestimate the power of life's crankiness.

5690425 good point... it may bite back

5691808

5691977 It's times like these I wish I had less curiosity... but I have a stick, so I must poke.
