Feline Dental Care
Cats experience similar dental issues as dogs, such as periodontal diseases, fractured teeth, and oral growths. Additionally, they commonly suffer from tooth resorption and inflammation.

More than half of cats have tooth resorptions by age 3. Cats experiencing tooth resorption may exhibit signs such as increased salivation, oral bleeding, or challenges with eating. Despite the pain associated with tooth resorption, many affected cats may conceal their discomfort.

Regular dental exams and cleanings are an important part of helping keep your feline friend's teeth healthy. Learn more about what you can do to support your cat’s dental care linked below. https://catfriendly.com/how-to-brush-your-cats-teeth/
