Some vets recommend that cats like the American Curl and other breeds of felines have their teeth cleaned routinely by their owner or by their vet. Taking care of your American Curl’s teeth is important to her overall health. If your American Curl has noticeably bad breath, then it may be time for a trip to the vet for a cleaning. Bad breath can often be a sign of tooth decay. If left untreated, it could turn into periodontal disease, which could lead to other illnesses for your Curl. In addition to routine cleanings at the vet, you can also clean your Curl’s teeth at home. Use your finger or a small piece of gauze to gently rub vet approved toothpaste (or warm water) across your cat’s teeth. This will help keep your American Curl’s teeth clean in between visits and may even lower her chances of developing periodontal disease. Ask your local vet clinic Wake Forest NCfor assistance if needed.
