Veterinary clinics nationwide promote dental care in animals during the month of February. The Guildcrest Cat Hospital wishes to help spread knowledge about the importance of healthy teeth in felines.

The most important issue for owners to be aware of is that cats tend not to show when they are in pain. To exhibit pain is to exhibit weakness and therefore if they do have dental issues you may not realize it if you are not visiting your vet annually.

For a more in-depth look at what happens during a dental cleaning, please visit the photo gallery and look at Jasper’s Dental. It is a step by step visual aid to help you see what goes on during a dental cleaning.

Our newsletter contains an important article about feline dentistry and general knowledge about their teeth. Please take a look at the item of the month while you're in the newsletter section- your cats will never know it's good for them!
