Many shovelers think that cats are particularly clean, so it doesn’t matter if they don’t brush their teeth. Some people even think that pet cats don’t change their teeth! But it is not actually the case, do you know? The teeth of cats can even be used to check age. Do you know? If a cat doesn’t brush his teeth a day, bacteria will grow 1,000 times! Cat dental hygiene is not a trivial matter!
Like humans, cats also need to change their teeth. The growth and development of cats' teeth also go through two stages:
Breast tooth stage
In the papillary tooth stage, cats have 26 teeth
Permanent tooth stage
When it comes to the permanent tooth stage, pet cats will have 30 teeth, and the extra ones are 2 white teeth each at the top and bottom.
So many poop shovelers choose to brush their pets regularly. Compared to dogs, cats should be the least cooperative animal, right? So today, the controller will tell you how to clean the cat's teeth correctly? If you brush your cat's teeth, it is best to start from childhood. It is recommended to start 1-2 times a week! Otherwise, when the cat grows up and brushes its teeth, many cats will refuse!
According to the survey, on average, 70% of cats over three years old will have different degrees of dental problems. Even young cats may cause infection due to dental problems, and eventually have to extract their teeth completely and enter the cat's old age early. These are not formed in one day, largely because the owner does not care about oral hygiene and care of the cat's oral hygiene.
cats' dental problems are initially caused by plaque, that is, there are soft, transparent or milky white adhesives on the surface of the teeth. The tartar under the gums is a breeding ground for bacteria to grow. The bacteria will multiply and even reach 1,000 times, causing inflammation when the breeding is severe; when the bacteria that cause inflammation of the gums invade the cat's blood, it will cause problems in the cat's lungs, kidneys, liver and heart. Frequently brushing your cat's teeth can keep your teeth clean (note: pets have special toothbrushes and toothpastes). Regular cleaning of teeth at the pet hospital can also make your cat have healthy and bright teeth.
