Over 80 percent of cats that are older than 6 years have periodontal disease. If left untreated, it can lead to serious problems and shorten your pets life. You should start with a yearly dental exam when the cat is age 2. The vet can determine if a tooth cleaning/polishing is necessary. It will take 30 minutes, your cat will need to be anesthetized for the procedure.
