Did you know that Cats also need Dental care just like humans

Teeth are used by mammals to maintain the same tearing and chewing food, protection and preservation of the tongue in the mouth. Since a cat is a mammal, it has the same structure and requires the same care.
While the form may be others, the teeth have the same makeup. The inner part is the hub or root canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. Around the canal, the dentin. The visible part is the crown that is covered by enamel. The periodontal ligament attaches the roots to the jaw. Gum is the gum.
A cat has two sets of teeth. The first deciduous tooth or teeth are incisors, canines and premolars. They are replaced by permanent teeth occur on the back of the jaw. It takes 5-6 months for a cat to her permanent teeth grow.
A cat may experience growth problems due to weakness in the dental structure, tooth decay and problems with chewing. If the baby teeth fall when the permanent teeth are forming, is early dental disease to develop.
Tartar and plaque can form on teeth causes an inflammation of the gums. This can lead to oral bacteria spread of infection throughout the body. If the surrounding gums and bone is broken, the cat may have periodontitis. Precipices and painful loss of teeth may result if left untreated. A cat can suffer from tooth resorptions cavity such defects, which are usually extracted.
Bad breath, chattering, salivation, food is scarce or not at all, or a swelling on the cheek can be a symptom of a dental problem. A vet can examine and diagnose the problem. He could give a thorough cleaning of the teeth but usually requires the anesthetized cat.
A daily two minutes brushing at home can help reduce plaque and tartar. Use a cat that does not contain fluoride toothpaste. Oral rinses, dental diets water additives and other ways to a cat's teeth healthy.
