Cats generally do not develop cavities. Due to the special shape of their teeth, unlike humans and dogs, cat molars do not have horizontal surfaces, so they do not develop dental caries lesions. As a representative of dental caries fungi, mutant bacteria generally like to grow in acidic environments. Because the environment inside the human oral cavity is acidic, tooth decay can occur. However, the environment inside the cat's mouth is alkaline, so the fungus that causes tooth decay is difficult to survive, and naturally there will be no tooth decay. Moreover, the sugar-eating bacteria that cause dental caries usually multiply in the pits of dental caries. Because cats have the tooth structure of carnivores and taste organs that cannot taste sweetness, it is difficult for cats to have cavities on their teeth.

Cat dental care methods:

1. Brush teeth daily. Some cats will be very resistant to brushing their teeth, but you can't just let it go. Brushing your teeth regularly can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases.

2. Cat food is moderately soft and hard. There are a lot of canned foods, and after cats eat them, food residue will remain in their mouths. This actually has a lot to do with soft food.

3. Prepare dental cleaning toys. Buy dental cleaning toys for cats. These toys can not only clean the cat’s mouth, but also help them grind their teeth.

4. Clean your teeth promptly. When there is already thick tartar on the cat’s teeth, take the cat to the hospital for professional teeth cleaning as soon as possible to avoid causing other oral diseases.
