Possible Causes of Gingivitis in Cats Like the American Wirehairs

If your American Wirehair or other breed of feline has recently been diagnosed with gingivitis, be sure to talk with your vet more in depth about how this first stage of periodontal disease developed in your feline and how you can treat it and stop it from happening again. Gingivitis in American Wirehairs is often caused by food or plaque build-up. If caught early, gingivitis can often be treated and even reversed. In people, plaque can build-up due to a lack of teeth brushing. The same can be said in American Wirehairs. This is why some vets recommend at home teeth brushing or professional teeth cleaning for your American Wirehair. Gingivitis causing plaque build-up can also occur for other reasons including old age, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, soft food, breathing through the mouth, bad chewing habits, uremia and diabetes, autoimmune diseases, FeLV (Feline Leukemia), and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).
