Dental health is important for your cat, as dental disease can spread to other organs of the body, causing serious illness.
Things to Consider:
Multi-Task Scheduling – When you take your cat for a dental exam, your vet will likely anesthetize him. You might wish to consider scheduling other care at the same time that may also require anesthesia.
Breath – Bad breath is an indication that your cat may have dental issues that need to be attended to by a vet.
What to Look For – When checking your cat´s gums for gingivitis, one clear symptom is shiny, rounded gums instead of pink gums with sharply defined lines.
