Cats can get dental calculus. Food leaves residue on the teeth, which, if not removed in time, can form plaque. The minerals in saliva harden plaque, which is why calculus forms. Dental calculus can cause various oral diseases, and in severe cases, it can even cause damage to your cat’s organs.

Care methods for cats with dental calculus:

1. Brush teeth every day. If the cat’s dental calculus symptoms are mild, you can brush the cat’s teeth at home with a soft toothbrush or gauze soaked in saline, twice a day. In addition, you can add some pet mouthwash to the cat’s drinking water. Or dental cleaning gel to help cats remove dental calculus.

2. Teeth cleaning in hospital. If your cat’s dental calculus is heavy and you can smell a serious odor in its mouth, you need to go to a pet hospital for professional teeth cleaning. At the same time, pay attention to whether the cat’s gums are inflamed, and you can receive targeted treatment.

3. Daily prevention. You can feed the cat more dry cat food. Dry cat food can effectively prevent the cat from developing dental calculus by rubbing it in the cat's mouth. You can also buy more toys for the cat to grind his teeth, which can also reduce the probability of the cat developing dental calculus.
