Why should you brush cats' teeth?
While dogs only start to suffer from dental problems when they are older, cats are often affected by the problem even when they are young. And as cats get older, the risk of developing tartar increases. Healthy teeth are an important prerequisite for the animal to feel comfortable all around. Diseases of the oral cavity are one of the most common reasons for cats to visit the vet. If food residues are not removed with a toothbrush and toothpaste after a meal, plaque quickly formsIn combination with saliva, the plaque hardens into tartar. The result is gum inflammation, which causes great pain for cats and humans alike, and can even lead to tooth loss. But problems with the heart and kidneys, which have no obvious connection with the cat's teeth, can also be caused by tartar: the bacteria can spread throughout the body via the blood and damage vital organs. Another danger to the dental health of cats comes from feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions - FORL for short. If a cat suffers from this disease, also known as cat caries, the tooth substance gradually begins to dissolve. Although FORL is the most common dental disease in cats, its causes are not yet fully understood.
