내 고양이 치아에 솔질을해야합니까?

인간과 마찬가지로, 치과 진료는 고양이의 잇몸과 치아가 건강을 유지할 수 있도록하는 데 중요하지만 고양이의 친구가 치아를 돌보기가 쉽지 않습니다. 좋은 구강 위생은 고양이의 입안에있는 박테리아가 너무 많아서 신체의 다른 부위로 퍼질 수있는 감염을 일으킬 수 있으므로 고양이의 건강을 전반적으로 향상시키는 것으로 나타났습니다. 고양이의 치아를 청소하는 것은 불가능하다고 생각할 수도 있지만, 약간의 연습과 인내심으로 하루에 몇 분 이내에 애완 동물의 구강 건강을 쉽게 유지할 수 있습니다.
 
To brush a cat’s teeth, it is best to start as early in his life as possible. Gradually ease into the process by using a damp gauze pad to rub his teeth. When he accepts that without a fuss, begin using a toothbrush coated in a small amount of cat meat, which will help your pet form positive associations with the brush. It’s important to use a toothbrush specifically designed for cats that is small and fits over your index finger and to use toothpaste designed specifically for pets. This will make brushing easier, since pet toothpaste comes in a variety of cat-friendly flavors such as poultry. You won’t be able to brush all of Kitty’s teeth in one sitting at first, so don’t worry about cleaning one side of his mouth in the morning and the other at night. Once your pet is accustomed to his toothbrush, clean his mouth using gentle brushing motions along his teeth and gums, especially his back molars, at least a few times a week. If Kitty absolutely will not let you near his mouth, there are a range of dental rinses and tartar control chews that can help keep his teeth clean. Feeding him a mixed diet of wet and dry foods will help preserve his oral health, too.
 
Signs your cat is already suffering from dental disease include bad breath; red, swollen or bleeding gums; pawing at the face; yellow deposits on the teeth; and loose or missing teeth. Felines who are reluctant to let you see their mouths might also be showing signs of pain. If you can see or smell a problem, your pet is already suffering from advanced periodontal issues and should see a vet immediately. He can perform an anesthetized dental assessment and thorough tooth cleaning for your pet. Once Kitty’s choppers are clean, you can keep them healthy with at-home brushing, though you should continue to get your cat’s teeth cleaned professionally at least once a year to prevent tartar buildup, gingivitis and gum disease, and to track your pet’s oral health.
