Caries

Caries: The result of deterioration of the enamel of the teeth with the formation of cavities. The problem in cats usually is noticed when the animal suffers while chewing. Sometimes bad breath is also a symptom. The vet can decide whether or not the ailing tooth should be extracted; the operation should take place with anesthesia.
