Feline tooth resorption is when the enamel starts to break down along the gum line. Eventually, the entire tooth will be destroyed. Tooth resorption is linked to periodontal disease. Cats with tooth resorption often have stomatitis as well.
Remember that the mouth is the first part of the digestive process. Oral disease is usually accompanied by digestive issues which cat owners may or may not be aware of.
Having a healthy mouth starts with eating a healthy diet and maintaining a normal balance of flora. Bacteria in the mouth can build up when the pet’s immune system is weakened due to poor digestion.
Cats are natural carnivores and yet most diets for cats are made for convenience with too many carbohydrates like legumes and grains. Consider incorporating at least some raw frozen food (e.g Instinct, Small Batch, Vital Essentials, Stella & Chewy’s, Primal, etc) into your cat’s diet. Raw diets are low in carbohydrates and rich in real, fresh nutrients.
