While dogs are known for pets with the stinky breath, cats sure can give them a run for their money. Prioritizing your cat's dental hygiene can go a long way in helping your furry friend stay healthy and feel their best. At Summit Dog and Cat Hospital, we're proud to be your Summit, NJ, veterinarian near you.
Cat Teeth Cleaning
If you're making a point to keep your cat's teeth healthy, you're doing him a favor. Just like humans, a cat's mouth might accumulate bacteria over time, resulting in plaque forming on the surface of the teeth. This can result in cavities and gum disease if left untreated.
Brushing your cat's teeth is a great way to protect your kitty's oral health. It might be easier to get your cat on board if you're able to start as a kitten but might still get him to relax during brushing as an adult if you have the right supplies.
Work with Your Vet
A veterinarian can be an important partner when it comes to keeping your cat's teeth healthy and strong. Our veterinary team will talk with you about how often it's recommended that you schedule a dental cleaning for your cat. Cleanings may be performed under anesthesia, so your cat will be completely asleep and comfortable during the entire process. If we notice any issues that require additional attention, we'll either provide treatment during the cleaning process or talk with you to schedule another appointment.
