Teeth
& Gum Disease:
It is important to care for the health of your cat’s teeth
and gums, starting when he is young. Tartar build-up and enamel
erosion are the main causes of serious gum disease. Your veterinarian
can show you how to brush your cat’s teeth. It’s the most
effective way to control tartar buildup. A finger brush, pet toothbrush
or child’s soft toothbrush along with pet toothpaste is the
best combination. Your cat will need regular teeth cleaning by your
veterinarian, especially when he gets older. If your cat begins
to favor one side of his mouth, or if he suddenly stops eating as
if his mouth is sore, have your veterinarian take a look.
