Overview
Is your cat experiencing bad breath, red or swollen gums, or difficulty eating? They might be dealing with gingivitis - a common dental issue in cats that can lead to discomfort and more serious health problems if left untreated. Let's break down what gingivitis is and how we can help your cat heal without resorting to full mouth extraction.
What Is Gingivitis?
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on your cat's teeth. If not addressed, it can progress to periodontal disease, leading to tooth loss and infections that may affect other organs. Early intervention is crucial to prevent these complications and maintain your cat's overall health.
Our Goal: Avoiding Full Mouth Extraction
In severe cases of dental disease, full mouth extraction - the removal of all teeth - may be recommended to alleviate pain and infection. Our therapy focuses on preserving your cat's natural teeth by promoting gum health and preventing the progression of gingivitis.
Which Cats Are More Prone to Gingivitis?
All Ages: While older cats are more susceptible, gingivitis can affect cats of any age.
Diet: Cats on wet food diets may experience more plaque buildup.
Oral Hygiene: Lack of regular teeth cleaning contributes to plaque and tartar accumulation.
Underlying Health Conditions: Diseases like Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) or Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) can increase susceptibility.
Symptoms
Signs to Look Out For at Home
Bad breath (halitosis)
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

Behavioural changes due to discomfort
How is it diagnosed?
Oral Examination: The vet checks for signs of inflammation, tartar buildup, and dental decay.
Dental X-Rays: To assess the health of teeth below the gum line and the jawbone.
Blood Tests: To rule out underlying conditions affecting healing.
