In the deciduous stage, cats have 26 teeth. At the permanent tooth stage, cats have 30 teeth. Permanent teeth are permanent teeth. If they fall out, they will not grow again. Cats change their teeth very regularly. The baby teeth will begin to grow when they are three to four weeks old, and all of them will grow in by the age of five weeks. Then the cat starts to replace its permanent teeth when it is five months old. During the period of tooth replacement, the owner should pay more attention to the cat.

When does a cat change its teeth?

1. The deciduous teeth will start to grow in at 2-3 weeks, and all the deciduous teeth will start to grow in 3-4 weeks.

Start replacing the baby teeth at the age of 2.4-6 months, and all the deciduous teeth will be replaced by new teeth.

3. When a cat replaces its teeth, its gums will become red or it will spit out bloody teeth. This is normal.

4. A lucky owner may pick up a cat's teeth. Generally, the teeth are swallowed by the cat. If not picked up, it will not affect the cat's body.

Things to note when cats are changing their teeth

1. During the tooth replacement period, owners should pay more attention to the loss of the cat’s deciduous teeth. If the deciduous teeth do not fall out, the growth of permanent teeth will affect the cat’s overall development.

2. Hard food can help cats clean their teeth, but they still need to maintain the habit of brushing their teeth regularly.

3. Owners should cultivate good habits for cats from an early age. Dental health is related to the cat’s life.
