Veterinarian Dr. Conny Kolo on the subject of dental care for cats:
"From a veterinary point of view, caring for your cat’s dental needs is part of a cat owner's duty of care. Dental problems such as tartar, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), periodontitis (inflammation of the tooth bed) or FORL (feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions) are common in cats and can lead to pain, infections or systemic health problems."

What does Dr Kolo define as dental care for cats?
"Regular tooth brushing with a special cat toothbrush and toothpaste is ideal for preventing plaque and tartar and recognising signs of FORL at an early stage. Special dental care treats and dietary products can also help to clean teeth. It is also important to have regular dental check-ups in order to recognise and treat dental problems at an early stage. Professional dental cleanings or dental x-rays under anaesthetic are required to remove stubborn tartar, maintain dental health and detect and remove severely damaged teeth. Consistent dental care helps to improve the quality of life and general well-being of cats. I therefore recommend integrating dental care and mouth checks into a cat's daily routine."
