<p dir="auto">As a cat owner, you want what’s best for your feline family member and have likely turned to the Internet to learn about home dental care for cats and whether your cat’s teeth need professional cleaning. Unfortunately, not all of the information presented online is accurate. Here at Boca Park Animal Hospital, we’re passionate about helping cat owners give their furry friends the best lives possible. That’s why we decided to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about cat dentistry. We’re glad you found this resource and hope it contains the information you need.&nbsp;</p><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">If your cat needs a dentist in Las Vegas, NV, let us help. When it comes to maintaining healthy cat teeth, it all starts with an exam. Call us now at (702) 213-4513 to schedule an appointment and get your cat on the road to a healthy smile.&nbsp;</p><h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 33px"><strong>What is involved in cat dental care?</strong></h2><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Cat dental care consists of two main components: Home care and veterinary care. The home care portion includes brushing three to four times per week (we can teach you how to brush your cat’s teeth) and feeding dental diets and treats to help control plaque and tartar. This is vital because plaque and tartar are significant problems in cats and lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease.&nbsp;</p><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Veterinary care includes professional exams, x-rays, cleanings, and other services performed in our office.&nbsp;</p><h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 33px"><strong>How does dental health impact the overall health of my cat?</strong></h2><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Dental health is a critical component of your cat’s overall health. What happens to the mouth affects the whole body, so disease affecting the teeth and gums impacts nearly every aspect of a cat’s well-being. In fact, keeping your cat’s mouth healthy adds two to three years to their life. Keeping up with dental care is essential for comfort because gingivitis and periodontal disease cause pain.&nbsp;</p><h3 dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.2"><strong>Without proper dental care, cats can experience a wide range of problems, including:&nbsp;</strong></h3><ul><li><p dir="auto">Loose or broken teeth</p></li><li><p dir="auto">Cavities</p></li><li><p dir="auto">Infections</p></li><li><p dir="auto">Heart, kidney, and liver damage</p></li><li><p dir="auto">Inability to eat</p></li></ul><h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 33px"><strong>What types of dental care should I be doing at home?</strong></h2><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Brushing your cat’s teeth is the best way to prevent plaque and tartar buildup. Unfortunately, not all cats cooperate with at-home brushings. As vets, we are here to help you better understand how to brush your cat’s teeth. We can also recommend appropriate cat teeth cleaning products, including toothbrushes and pet-specific toothpaste.&nbsp;</p><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Dental diets, treats, and water additives help keep cats’ teeth healthy between professional cleanings. We recommend visually examining your cat’s mouth regularly and contacting us at (702) 213-4513 at the first sign of any problems affecting their teeth or gums.&nbsp;</p><h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 33px"><strong>How do you diagnose dental problems in cats?</strong></h2><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Aside from a comprehensive visual examination, we perform dental x-rays while the patient is under general anesthesia to get a clear picture of exactly what’s going on inside their mouth. X-rays allow us to view the portion of the tooth that lies below the gum line, enabling us to spot cavities, root decay, and other problems that are not visible during a visual exam.&nbsp;</p><h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 33px"><strong>What are some possible conditions that are caused by poor dental health? And what are the treatments?</strong></h2><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">Periodontal disease is the biggest problem associated with a lack of dental care. While it typically begins as plaque and tartar, it quickly leads to gingivitis, which causes infection in the roots of the teeth. The mouth is connected to the rest of the body by the bloodstream, and once the infection enters the bloodstream and spreads to the heart, kidneys, and liver, it causes organ damage and can lead to a terminal situation.&nbsp;</p><p dir="auto" style="line-height: 1.6em">When we detect periodontal disease in its earliest stages, a professional cleaning can stop its progression. Sometimes, we need to extract badly damaged and diseased teeth to prevent further detriment to the patient’s health. In cases of advanced disease, we must treat infections and address organ dysfunction. The exact treatments vary depending on the nature and severity of the problem.&nbsp;</p>

Since this stage comes with many questions, you might have turned to the internet for insight. At Boca Park Animal Hospital we work extremely hard to bring you accurate information you can trust. Thats why weve taken the FAQs about kitten care and answered them as thoroughly and accurately as possible to ensure you have the facts.
