You know, there are all kinds of products targeted toward cleaning dog teeth. To my knowledge, none of them work. It does, on the other hand show that the general public is quite aware that dogs do experience problems with their chompers. Most people have heard of gingivitis in dogs, letting the vet do a little dentistry/teeth cleaning, and even brushing your dog's teeth.
You don't hear much about cat teeth, though.
Cats absolutely get problems with plaque, their gums, and their teeth. Infections from too much built up plaque and a swollen/irritated gumline can become extreme, cause tooth loss, and even spread via bloodstream to other areas of the body.
So what do you do? Have your cat put under anesthesia every few months for a good cleaning? Well...you could do that, or you could brush your cat's teeth.
If you own a cat, you're probably putting on heavy duty gloves right now. I adore kitties, but if there's one thing they don't like by default, it's having your fingers in their mouths! Never fear, though, for I have found this nifty video that has a slight resemblance to the one I actually wanted to show you, but couldn't, because my class uploaded it directly.
Voila!
Cat teeth.
