CATDOLL : What's wrong with cats losing teeth?

Reasons why cats lose teeth:

1. Teething. Cats start growing teeth about 2 weeks after birth, and all 26 teeth grow in about 1 month. The baby teeth fall out about 3 months after birth, and 30 new teeth grow in 5-6 months. Generally, the teething is complete between 6 and 8 months of age.

2. Aging causes tooth loss. The gums and alveoli of cats aged 12 to 13 begin to loosen, making it easy for their teeth to fall out.

3. Pathological dental problems. Pathological reasons can cause cats to have tooth loss, suppuration of tooth roots, tooth pain, etc.

Daily dental care for cats:

1. Brush your cat's teeth regularly or go to the pet hospital for a teeth cleaning to keep your cat's teeth healthy and shiny. Once a cat's teeth have problems, it is easy to cause the bones and connective tissues around the cat's teeth and gums to be affected, or even cause the teeth to fall out.

2. If your cat has never brushed its teeth, you can apply toothpaste or oral cleaning gel on its teeth. Even if the cat will lick its mouth, you can still achieve the effect of brushing its teeth.

3. When there is thick tartar on the cat's teeth, take the cat to the hospital for professional teeth cleaning as soon as possible to avoid causing other oral diseases.
