If you own a cat then you should probably check with your vet about a dental cleaning or dental exam for your cat. Most vets will check cats teeth at the annual wellness exam. If the gums or teeth have a large amount of plaque or tartar buildup then a cleaning may be recommended. Untreated gums and teeth can lead to the development of periodontal disease which could lead to other more severe illnesses if left unchecked. You can help your cat keep her teeth clean by cleaning them at home. However, a more invasive cleaning is often needed. Your vet will sedate your cat and then pick and scrape the teeth to clean them. Any infected teeth or broken teeth will be treated and/or removed at this time. Your cat should have a dental cleaning every 6 months to a year. For more details, give your veterinary clinic Santa Rosa, CA call.
