Cat Dental Disease Prevention and Home Care

Dental disease is the most common health problem in cats but is highly preventable through daily home care and regular veterinary attention.

Key Facts

Welfare Considerations

Dental disease causes chronic pain that significantly reduces quality of life in affected cats, yet many owners are unaware their cat is suffering. The stoic nature of cats means dental pain is rarely communicated overtly. Regular veterinary dental assessments and home care starting in kittenhood can prevent much dental suffering over a cat's lifetime.
