A healthy mouth is a good indicator of your cat’s overall health, but many cat parents ignore their cat’s oral health. By the time they’re 3 years old 70% of cats are showing signs of oral disease, according to the Foundation For Veterinary Dentistry. While an oral exam should continue to be an important part of your cat’s annual wellness checkup, developing a daily tooth brushing routine can go a long way in preventing damage and disease. Since brushing a cat’s teeth can be challenging, here are some tips to make the experience as easy as possible for both of you.
Tips#02
Massage your cat’s teeth and gums
Once your cat becomes comfortable having the outside of her mouth massaged, repeat the process on the inside of her mouth. Spend a few minutes per day massaging her teeth and gums. You can do this with your finger, a soft cloth, gauze, or a cotton swab.
