Did you know that some research suggests that more than 80 percent of pets three years and older develop some form of gingivitis or gum disease? This makes it even more important for you to check (or have your vet check) your Sphynx cat’s teeth and gums on a routine basis to ensure there is no presence of inflammation or swelling to the gums. Other common signs of gum disease or gingivitis include trouble chewing and eating as well as bad breath. If your Sphynx cat has been diagnosed with gingivitis then your vet may recommend treatment in a variety of ways. First, you should start brushing your cat’s teeth at home on a routine basis. You may also need to schedule a professional teeth cleaning. In addition, your vet may want to remove baby teeth or overcrowded teeth to reduce plaque build-up. If caught early, gingivitis can be reversed. Learn more from your vets Marietta GA.
