Gingivitis is common in people as well as animals including cats. If you notice that your cat has strong bad breath that just doesn’t seem to go away then she could have gingivitis. Contact your vet to find out. Extreme bad breath is called Halitosis. It is one of the first signs of gingivitis or gum disease in cats. Gingivitis needs immediate care to prevent further harm to the teeth and gums of your cat. Gingivitis can occur when tartar and plaque buildup over time along the teeth and gums. Irritation of the gums, inflammation and swelling often appear as well. In many situations, cats need to have a professional teeth cleaning by dental vet. Additional treatment of gingivitis or serious tooth decay may even include the removal of teeth in the future. Please contact your cat Advanced Dentistry Cornelius, NC to find out ways to prevent your cat from developing gingivitis.
