Did you know that tooth grinding is quite common in cats? The technical term for it is “bruxism”. There are various reasons to explain the behavior such as:

• Problems affecting the mouth and associated structures

Injury, swollen or inflamed gums, tooth decay, abscess, foreign body stuck inside the mouth, etc. can be possible causes of tooth grinding in cats. In most cases, drooling is a prominent sign that is manifested. If your pet allows it, check his mouth for inflamed gums, broken or decaying teeth, sores, wounds, sores, etc. or better still, bring him to your Cleveland, TN animal hospital sooner rather than later.

• Dehydration
