Cleaning Cats' Teeth: Tips & Info

Gray cat

Dental care for cats is often underestimated, even though it's an essential part of overall health care. Regular care can prevent problems like tartar, gingivitis, and bad breath. Here's how to effectively clean your cat's teeth.

Basics of dental care for cats

Start your dental care routine early, ideally as a kitten. Gradually get your cat used to having its mouth touched, gradually progressing to a wet sponge brushed over its teeth and gums. Then, use a soft toothbrush or finger cot to gently brush your cat's teeth. Pay particular attention to the gum line and always start at the back of the mouth.

Use of special dental care products

For daily care, you can use the LOXOVET® Tooth Cleaner for dogs and cats . This spray not only supports general oral hygiene, but also helps prevent inflammation and freshens breath. Another helpful product is the LOXOVET® Microfiber Tooth Cleaner , a dental finger cot that effectively removes plaque and massages the gums thanks to its 12,000 microfibers and antibacterial silver ions.


Application of LOXOVET products

Simply spray the Loxovet tooth cleaner into your cat's mouth or onto their toothbrush. The microfiber tooth cleaner slips over your finger and allows for gentle cleaning with circular motions over the teeth. Both products are easy to use and offer an effective way to keep your cat's teeth clean and healthy.

Why is regular dental care important?

A clean set of teeth prevents the formation of tartar and gum disease. Good oral hygiene can also help prevent systemic diseases such as heart problems or kidney damage, which can be caused by bacteria from the mouth.

Final tips

Get your cat used to regular dental cleanings and reward them with toys and treats after each session. This promotes positive associations and makes future grooming sessions easier. If you notice signs of dental problems despite regular grooming, don't hesitate to consult a veterinarian.

With the right tools and a little patience, dental care for your cat can be made stress-free and effective to improve their health and quality of life.
