Gingivitis in Turkish Angoras

Cats like the Turkish Angora are prone to dental and gum disease in the same way people are. One type of gum disease is Gingivitis, which can cause inflammation and irritation to the gums. It is said to be one of the first stages of periodontal disease or infections related to areas around the teeth including the gums. Gingivitis occurs when plaque or food and debris builds up on the gums. Advanced gingivitis occurs when plaque plus a calculus build up is present on the gums causing severe redness, irritation, and inflammation. The first sign of gingivitis in cats is usually inflammation or redness of the gums, which is also a signal of beginning stages of infection. Plaque (or food build-up) is not always present at the beginning stages, but can appear if action is not taken. If caught in time, gingivitis can be treated and even reversed.
