Dental Health of Cats


Cats are prone to dental problems just like dogs and humans and the most common cause is the accumulation of tartar and plaque brought about by a poor dental regimen. A pet cat’s home dental regimen must include daily brushing, routine animal clinic visits and dental checkups, the use of chew bones or dental treats, and of course a customized diet. 

Plaque is brought on by a buildup of food particles plus saliva that stick to the cat's teeth as well as the gum line. Once this plaque hardens, it will turn into dental calculus or what's commonly known as tartar. This deterioration is supportive of bacterial growth in the mouth and eventually causes various issues like gum swelling and inflammation, loose tooth, tooth decay, as well as tissue and bone destruction around the mouth. 

Dental issues might seem trivial but it's really a serious issue that you need to report to your veterinarian Portland, OR immediately.
