Dental illnesses of the cats are similar to those found in people.  Methods of the treatment are also similar. Feline dental care can help hold your cat’s teeth and gums healthful. Studying the terms your veterinarian uses to declare dental illnesses will help you understand and discuss any problems your cat’s teeth may evolve. 

Cat Dental care

Causes 

            Gum disease is the irritation of the mucosa around the teeth. It is happened by the cumulation of many different bacteria. It is caused due—in part—to an absence of right oral hygiene. This infection causes inflammation of the gums, the ligaments that anchor the teeth. If the illness goes untreated, teeth can be lost. 

              Cat dental problems can usually be decided by accurate professional cleaning of the teeth. This includes cleaning below the gum line. When the procedure of the cleanings is completed, your veterinarian may apply a sealant to the teeth. It averts bacterial upbuilding and improves healing. Cats that do not react to therapy should be evaluated for other illnesses such as problems with immune system, diabetes, and especially feline Bartonella  (cat fever) infection. Illnesses will occur if the teeth are not kept clean and free of plaque. 

Symtomps 

  • Bad breath  
  • The cat does not have an appetite and refuses for favorite “crackers”, preferring soft food. 
  • Strange behavior. Owners notice that the cat shakes his head and rubs his muzzle. 
  • The sick cat will have abundant salivation.

Treatments 

The most important point to remember is that gum disease rarely develops around clean teeth.  

At home methods: 

  • Toothbrushing  
  • Diet 
  • Regular dental examinations. 

                    Periodontal illnesses are an irritation of a tooth’s deep sustaining structures. At the present time, it is one of the most usual illnesses in felines. Calculus can appear if bacteria and food particles are admitted to lying over along the cat’s gum line. This happens because of gum annoyance.

                   The definite treatment for dental illness relies on how this disease is progressed. So, in the first phase, therapy is based on checking plaque and protecting attachment loss.
    In second and third phases, the treatment includes the cleaning of the area between the teeth and gums and the use of an antibiotic paste (or gel) to restitution dental tissues. And this is phases when your feline dentist should check the cat teeth.
