What’s the best way to maintain my cat’s dental health?

To keep your cat’s mouth healthy, offer hard food, dental treats, or water additives. If your cat is cooperative and well-trained, you can brush their teeth regularly using positive reinforcement to make the experience safe and pleasant. It’s also important to schedule regular veterinary dental check-ups, which help your veterinarian assess your cat’s individual needs. When necessary, a professional dental prophylaxis under anesthesia is performed to thoroughly clean below the gumline, take dental X-rays to detect hidden issues such as root infections or bone loss, and perform extractions of damaged or painful teeth. This care helps prevent pain, infection, and tooth loss—keeping your cat comfortable, healthy, and happy!
