Your cat needs you to clean her teeth and stimulate her gums
regularly. However, your cat will need periodic professional cleanings
no matter how diligent you are. Your vet can do a professional cleaning
at the office while your cat is sedated. Your cat may need teeth
extracted if there is excess decay. X-rays help determine your cat’s
overall dental health. Your cat may receive antibiotics before and after
her professional dental cleaning to manage dental infections and
lowering the risk of introducing bacteria into your cat’s bloodstream
during the procedure. Follow all care instructions after the cleaning
like you would for any other surgical procedure. Your cat may be
prescribed pain medication and she may be restricted to soft foods for a
few days. She may suffer digestive issues from the medication and
anesthesia for a few days. Soon your cat will be back to normal. For
