Brushing the teeth
Overwhelmingly, the most common reason why cat owners visit the veterinarian is tooth and gum disease.
Tooth enamel erodes, exposing the living pulp within; gums become infected, producing disease and foul breath.
The most effective way to prevent oral problems is by brushing your cats gums and teeth- Begin with mock brushing, then graduate to cleaning the teeth several times each week. Always reward good behavior.
