How to care for a cat's teeth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n A healthy diet is just as important for a cat's teeth as it is for humans. Dry food plays an important role in this as it stimulates the cat's chewing activity, increases salivation and reduces bacteria in the mouth. This minimises the formation of dental plaque. Canned food is also fed. Brush your teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n Specialised toothbrushes and toothpaste are available from pet shops. Toothbrushes and toothpaste for humans are unsuitable for cats. Some pet shops sell fish-flavoured toothpaste to make the procedure easier. What to look out for<\/strong><\/p>\n The most common dental problems in cats are broken teeth, gingivitis, yellow and brownish plaque or periodontal disease. If the cat no longer wants to eat, you must go to the vet immediately, as this may be due to dental problems or other health problems.<\/p>\n Veterinarian<\/strong><\/p>\n Take your cat to the vet once a year for a check-up and have its teeth examined at the same time. Dental care becomes particularly important as your cat gets older. The vet can treat a cat's teeth in almost the same way as a human dentist, but it is better not to let it get that far. With proper dental care, cats can be spared anaesthesia and dental treatment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is important for cat owners to keep their pets well-groomed and healthy.

The right food<\/strong><\/p>\n
Crunchy treats and toys for cats also help to maintain healthy oral flora.<\/p>\n
You should start brushing your cat's teeth when it is still small. If the cat gets used to it from an early age, it will not resist it. If possible, teeth should be brushed once a day, but twice a week is also sufficient. You only need to clean the outside of the teeth, as plaque does not form on the inside of the teeth. While brushing, you can check your cat's teeth for visible problems.<\/p>\n
