Although taking your cat to your veterinarian can feel like a chore, remember that you are doing this because you love your cat, even if he or she doesn’t appreciate your care at the moment. 😾 Your cat should have a complete physical examination, which includes a dental check-up, every 6-12 months. 😺 The frequency of dental check-ups depends in part on how quickly your cat forms plaque. 🙀 Some cats form plaque more quickly than others. 😿 Regular dental check-ups can detect problems such as periodontal disease, broken teeth, and tumors. Even if your cat appears normal, it is important to provide regular professional examinations because cats can effectively hide even severe dental problems.
