If your Siamese cat or other breed feline is suffering from extremely bad breath, then she could have gingivitis or some other type of dental problem. Call your vet to set up an exam right away. Gingivitis is a type of gum disease that causes inflammation and irritation to the gums. It is said to be one of the first stages of periodontal disease or infections related to areas around the teeth including the gums. Gingivitis occurs when plaque or food and debris builds up on the gums. Advanced gingivitis occurs when plaque plus a calculus build up is present on the gums causing severe redness, irritation, and inflammation. The first sign of gingivitis in Siamese cats is usually inflammation or redness of the gums, which is also a signal of beginning stages of infection. If caught in time, gingivitis can be treated and even reversed. Contact your vet Jacksonville, FL for details.
