Dental care is very important to your cat’s health, just like it is to yourself. You should provide regular dental care and cleaning for your cat.

1. First of all, you can train your cat to accept the habit of brushing teeth.

Use your fingers to gently stroke the cat's gums at the beginning. At first, you only wipe the outside, but when the cat has adapted to this behavior, you can open its mouth to wipe the gums inside at the same time. When a cat is used to it, you can wrap your fingers around gauze to brush its gums.

2. Then add some toothpaste specially prepared for cats, and do not use it for human use.

After a few weeks, your pet cat will be happy to accept pet toothbrushes made of soft bristles from artificial fibers.

3. The correct way to help cats brush their teeth.

Extend the toothbrush between the teeth and gums at a 45-degree angle, and rotate and circle the teeth into a thin circle. Then brush up and down to wipe off the tartar between the teeth. Repeat this step until the surface of the teeth is clean. Brushing the inner surface of the teeth is difficult because your pet will resist exposing its mouth, but you should always be able to brush the inner and outer surfaces of the teeth. Brush your cat's teeth twice a week to achieve the cleanliness effect.
