Treatment methods for cat dental calculus:

1. If the cat’s dental calculus is light, the owner can choose to use cat-specific toothpaste and toothbrush to brush the cat’s teeth.

2. If the cat’s dental calculus is severe and ordinary brushing cannot remove the dental calculus, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for ultrasonic teeth cleaning.

3. Cats with dental calculus can try to eat dry cat food as their daily staple food. You can also add mouthwash or tooth cleaning gel to the cat’s diet to help remove dental calculus.

Causes of cat dental calculus:

1. After the cat eats food, food residue will remain in the gaps between the teeth. If the cat’s teeth are not brushed in time, it will accumulate over a long period of time. There will be more and more plaque, and when there is too much plaque, dental calculus will form.

2. If the owner feeds the cat some liquid food and soft food for a long time, which are easy to adhere to the teeth, such as rice, boiled meat, etc., these food residues and saliva will form dental calculus.

3. Cats suffering from feline leukemia or feline immunodeficiency virus will also be more likely to develop inflammation of the oral mucosa, leading to dental calculus.

4. Misaligned and crooked teeth are the reasons why such cats are more likely to suffer from dental calculus, gingivitis and other oral diseases.
