Did you know that your Norwegian Forest cat should have his teeth cleaned at home on a routine basis? He should also have them professionally cleaned at least once a year. This is because food buildup and plaque can often lead to a disease known as gingivitis. This is a gum disease that causes inflammation and irritation to a cat’s gums and teeth. Routine teeth cleanings can help prevent this disease from occurring. Early detection of gingivitis can also enable treatment and possible reversing of the disease. Other causes of gingivitis also include old age, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, soft food, breathing through the mouth, bad chewing habits, uremia and diabetes, autoimmune diseases, FeLV (Feline Leukemia), and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).
