Teeth are very important when it comes to your cat. As obligate carnivores they have to eat meat, which requires a strong set of teeth. Unfortunately, it is reckoned that as many as 70% of all cats are showing signs of dental problems by the time that they are three years old.
So it is likely that your cat might have some degree of dental problem, however don’t worry as unlike lots of other conditions that can affect your pet, dental problems can often easily be reversed. Companies like Hills Pets sell lots of products that are designed to help your cat regain their dental health.
When checking for oral problems with your cat, there are all sorts of things to look out for. Many of these problems would ring alarm bells for any animal, even humans.
Bad breath can be a sign of a serious problem. It may be something they just ate, or it could be the result of plaque build up.
Similarly, a build up of plaque can also lead to swollen gums, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. If you think that your cat’s gums are showing signs of irritation then it is important that you seek the help of a vet.
Often you might notice a build up of yellow tartar on your cat’s teeth, and again this is not a good sign. You can get Hills Pets products that will help you with this, and
also importantly you should go and ask your vet for advice.
