Animals are very similar to humans. They may not live their lives with their brains like humans do, and they can live with a heartless smile, but they also get sick sometimes, and even brushing their teeth is a daily necessity.

Simply put, when raising a cat, you need to brush its teeth regularly to protect its oral health. Just like humans have to brush their teeth sooner or later. Oral health is also very important for cats. Oral diseases not only affect a cat’s normal appetite, but also cause great harm to its body, and will directly affect its life span.

When raising a pet cat, under normal circumstances, it is best to brush its teeth about three times a week. Of course, the actual situation needs to be determined based on the cat’s eating habits and oral condition. For example, if your cat is often fed soft, sticky food, he should brush his teeth more frequently. If you mainly feed it with cat food, pay attention to oral care and chew some chewing gum and chewing sticks regularly. In this case, the frequency of brushing can be appropriately reduced.

If your cat won't let you brush her teeth, ask your veterinarian to see if her teeth need descaling. Sedatives can be used when descaling.

Cats may have tooth decay and gum disease. Feeding your cat dry food can help prevent tartar buildup and gum disease.

When brushing your cat’s teeth, don’t use ordinary toothpaste. Buy toothpaste specially designed for pets.

Steps:

1. Apply a little toothpaste on the cat’s lips to let it get used to the taste of toothpaste. Before using a toothbrush, touch the gums with a cotton swab to allow the cat to adapt.

2. When the cat is ready, brush its teeth with a toothbrush, pet toothpaste or saline solution. You may need help holding the cat still.

You should brush your pet cat's teeth consistently, and brush and clean its teeth every week. As a parent, you must not be lazy and let your cat be free. Like this, brushing the cat's teeth every day for a period of time, but not brushing the cat's teeth for a long time, this brushing habit is not good for the cat, and the actual effect of its care is not ideal. Regarding cat oral care, you need to remember that brushing your cat’s teeth must be consistent and timely.
