Many people find it surprising to learn that dental disease is a real problem in felines. Naturally, cats are rarely known to brush their teeth, but it is possible to brush for them, although it takes some training and requires the right kind of toothpaste. Another factor is the type of food they eat. Some studies have shown that providing dry food can have an abrasive effect that can help preserve tooth and gum health, but for many cats, significant periodontal disease is just a matter of time, and they will inevitably need oral surgery to remove painful teeth that are impacting their eating habits. No matter what, you can rely on the expert advice and compassionate care from the veterinarians at Abbeywood Cat Hospital!
