Signs of Cat Dental Disease: Drooling, Bad Breath, and Pain

Cats are experts at hiding dental disease, but subtle signs like bad breath, drooling, dropping food while eating, or pawing at the mouth can indicate painful tooth decay, gum inflammation, or feline tooth resorption. Oral bacteria can also enter the bloodstream, affecting organ health over time. Houston Veterinary Clinic provides professional dental cleanings and oral surgery for cats, including thorough exams and safe extractions when needed, to eliminate oral pain and protect your cat's overall health.
