Introduction

You have a kitten. You love your kitten. No one is going to love you if that kitten gets tooth decay and needs major dental surgery. So how do you brush a cat’s teeth? It’s easy! I’ll show you how:

Know Why.

You are here because you care about your kitten’s oral health, and that is great! Brushing a kitten’s teeth is an important step in preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

There are many reasons why it is important to brush your kitten’s teeth:

• Kittens can get cavities as early as 6 months old if they do not have their teeth brushed regularly.
• The risk of heart disease increases with poor dental health.
• A healthy mouth means a happy cat!

Buy the Right Stuff.

You’ll need a toothbrush that is small enough to fit into your kitten’s mouth. If you don’t want to buy one specifically for pets, there are many options available at pet stores and online. The best place to start is at your local pet store or shelter. You may also find useful information by searching “pet toothbrush” or “kitten toothbrush” online; there are lots of different types on offer!

Follow the Right Steps for Teeth Brushing.

Follow these simple steps to ensure a good brushing experience for your kitten:

• Start young. The sooner you begin brushing, the more quickly and efficiently you can train your kitten to accept the process. It may take up to two months before he’s ready for toothpaste, so be patient!
• Use a soft toothbrush designed specifically for kittens that is small enough to fit inside his mouth. You can find these at pet stores or online.
• Brush in the direction of his teeth as you would with an adult cat (or human), paying special attention to the molars at the back of his mouth. Remember that kittens’ teeth start coming in around three weeks old, so don’t rush through this step; take it slowly and carefully until he gets used to having something in his mouth other than food or toys!
• Don’t forget about tongue brushing! Any good dental hygiene regime should include regular attention paid toward keeping everything clean inside his mouth too (or “interdental cleaning”).

Be Patience. Be Understanding. Be Determined.

Your cat will not be as patient as a dog. They may not enjoy the taste of toothpaste, or the feeling of bristles on their gums. Their mouth structure is also different from dogs, which makes it more difficult for them to tolerate dental care. This can make them less likely to let you brush their teeth without biting you in frustration (I know from personal experience).

So take your time and do it gently! Keep your fingers out of their mouths, take breaks when they become upset or tired out from being held still too long, and don’t force anything if they are struggling too much with the procedure. You know your pet best—if something isn’t working right away then stop before either of you gets hurt!

Brush your kitten’s teeth daily, starting young, and it will pay off with healthy teeth for a lifetime!

As a kitten owner, you are on the front lines of keeping your pet’s teeth healthy. Daily brushing is important to ensure that your kitten will not have any tooth decay when it reaches adulthood.

Start early! It’s never too soon to start brushing your kitten’s teeth and gums. You may think that it’s a little crazy to brush a newborn or young kitten’s teeth, but they can develop plaque and tartar just like adult cats do, so even if they haven’t had their first birthday yet it’s still important to begin a dental hygiene routine right away!

Don’t give up! Even if at first your cat doesn’t seem interested in having its teeth brushed (or maybe even tries to bite you), don’t give up – kittens grow weary of new things quickly, so keep trying until kitty gets used to this wonderful new routine and falls in love with being brushed!

Don’t be afraid to ask for help from others – there are many resources available online and offline for learning how best care for pets including their dental health; however if none of those resources work out then consider contacting an animal dentist who specializes in working with small animals such as yours.”
