80% of cats suffer from dental disease
Otherwise known as periodontal disease, the condition is caused when food debris and bacteria isn't brushed away. Over time this builds up, forming a hard substance called tartar, which can't be removed from brushing alone.
As tartar extends into the gums it can cause irritation and inflammation, or gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. Other symptoms include bleeding gums, brown or yellow teeth, halitosis, excessive drooling, loss of appetite, self-isolation, and missing teeth.

getting to the root of the issue
If you manage to catch gingivitis in its early stages, your vet may call your kitty in for a professional teeth clean. This not only costs a rather eye-watering £250 to £400, but requires your cat to go under general anaesthetic, of which sadly 2% of kitty's pass away during.
If not identified, not only can dental disease be extremely painful and reduce our cat's quality of life, but it can even reduce their lifespan, as its impact can extend well beyond just the mouth. For example if bacteria manages to mine its way into your cat's blood steam, it can infect major organs causing heart, liver and kidney issues.
two easy ways to prevent it (yourself!)
The good news is that dental disease is one of the easiest conditions to prevent ourselves. All you need to do is spend 1-2 minutes a day brushing your cat's teeth, rewarding their co-operation with a healthy cat dental treat, like our tantalising Gnashers Dental Bites.
