Signs & symptoms of poor oral health

If you think your cat has any of these signs, please book an appointment with the vet or nurse:

• Bad Breath

• Bleeding and/or inflamed gums
• Difficulty eating
• Pawing at the mouth
• Loose or missing teeth
• Excess drooling of saliva

Taking care of your cat ’s teeth

Looking after your cat ’s teeth is very important. Approximately 70% of cats over three years of age have dental disease.

Diet

Your cat’s diet is a major factor contributing to the health of their teeth. Complete dry biscuit diets, such as Hill's Oral Care, are much better than wet food at removing plaque and preventing the development of mouth problems.
