@alex_thevet: Day 5 of my Home Vet Check Series for cats — the 1-minute mouth check. If your cat is over 3, there’s roughly an 80% chance they already have some form of dental disease, and they almost certainly haven’t told you. Cats are brilliant at hiding dental pain. Today’s check uses no equipment and spots the four signs that matter. Dental inflammation hits the kidneys, heart and liver too — not just teeth. Watch out for tooth resorption, one of the most painful conditions I see. Save it and do the check tonight. Day 6 lands tomorrow. #vetexplains #cathealth #catdental #seniorcat #vetadvice

Starting an adult cat on brush is often near impossible and causes an intense amount of stress on the cat. Many cats will not even let you open their mouths and look at their teeth

Thanks to this video I just checked my cats teeth this morning and noticed the left upper k9 had swollen gums and a bit of redness. Took her straight to the vet, turns out she had a tooth infection that had almost made its way to the sinuses as it went up instead of down. Currently in surgery after the xrays to have it removed, poor thing must have been in pain but I had no idea as otherwise she was eating drinking and acting her usual self 🥲

My cat gives me such a hard time with teeth brushing. He acts like I’m killing him. I started when he was a kitten too!

My sweet baby died in January and she had horrible dental issues, she had necrotizing periodontitis and also had a fistula. It was horrible to see, to smell, to treat and to make everything easier for her. I cried so much because of her. ❤️‍🩹

pro tip: film your cat while yawning to look into the mouth without the hussle

The thing is to actually be able to check his teeth without missing my finger [Llanto]. He's 8yo, big, a bit fat and strong asf. This is definitely a challenge

I brush my cat's teeth twice a day and she still has dental issues. I also take her to the vet every year for dental cleaning and she's already had a few teeth taken out. She's just prone to having dental problems, no matter how diligent I try to be.

Are the medical powders (the algae ones) really efficient for dental hygiene in cats? My orange one has had gingivitis since he was a kitten, I recently noticed he was in pain and the vet had to remove one of his teeth... Is there something else I can do to avoid new tartar buildups in the future?

my cat is 11 years old, he has tooth reabsorption. I scheduled a dental procedure to check and remove decayed teeth. I am really worried about Anesthesia, I hope I am doing the right thing

I noticed my girl (9 yrs) was having some horrible breath... took her to the vet and noticed a small growth in her mouth 😭 I thought for sure it was cancer and she was going to die. turns out her teeth were rotting and she was chewing her cheek 😭. got the teeth removed and the growth removed and biopsied and she's doing great!

do the finger wipes with CET's enzyme toothpaste work?? one of my cats will let me actually brush his teeth with a toothbrush, but the other absolutely despises it, so I use the finger wipes with some of the toothpaste on it

Dry food is to high in carbs and sugar and drives dental disease
