Good tips and I don’t think that many are aware of just how important having your cat’s teeth checked and cleaned really is.

It’s extremely important for the reasons you listed. Dental disease can go south quickly and a cat’s mouth can get messed up badly in a short amount of time.

Poor dental hygiene can lead to infected abscesses and loss of teeth. Worse, it can easily spread to the sinuses and get into the bloodstream.

Your solution – an annual checkup – is the best one. When I take my cats to the vet, I make sure the check the mouth closely and comment on what they see.

My cats get their teeth cleaned on a regular basis.
