Prevent Dental Disease in Cats: Daily Care for Lifelong Health
In this article:
Your cat may look healthy, but what’s happening in their mouth could tell a different story. Dental disease is one of the most common and overlooked health problems in cats, and it often progresses silently.
By age three, around 70% of cats show signs of dental disease—plaque, tartar, inflamed gums. Left untreated, these issues can lead to pain, tooth loss, and serious internal health problems, especially as your cat ages.
The solution? Prevent issues before they start. With simple daily care, you can protect your cat’s oral health, prevent long-term pain, and potentially extend their lifespan.
Why Prevention Is Critical for Cats
Cats are masters at hiding discomfort. A cat with dental pain may keep eating, grooming, and acting “normal”—until the disease is advanced.
What Can Happen Without Preventative Care:
• Gingivitis and Periodontitis: Early gum inflammation can progress to irreversible tissue and bone loss.
• Tooth Resorption: A painful condition where teeth dissolve from the inside out—common in middle-aged cats.
• Weight Loss and Malnutrition: Oral pain can make chewing difficult, leading to reduced appetite.
• Systemic Illness: Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect the kidneys, liver, and heart.
Preventive care reduces the risk of all these complications—and makes life a lot more comfortable for your cat.
Proactive Protection Made Easy with ProDen PlaqueOff®
Good habits start with simplicity. ProDen PlaqueOff® makes feline dental care stress-free and effective, using a natural seaweed ingredient called A.N ProDen® that works through your cat’s saliva to:
• Prevent plaque from sticking to teeth
• Soften existing tartar
• Freshen breath
• Reduce harmful oral bacteria
Each ProDen PlaqueOff® offers a simple, daily way to protect your cat’s oral health—without brushing. Whether it’s a sprinkle, a snack, or a soft chew, you’re building long-term protection one small step at a time.
Start Now, Stay Ahead
Even if your cat isn’t showing visible symptoms, dental disease may already be developing. That’s why prevention should begin early—even in young adult cats—and continue throughout life.
Daily use of PlaqueOff®, combined with regular vet checkups, helps you:
• Reduce the need for professional cleanings under anesthesia
• Avoid costly and painful procedures later
• Give your cat a healthier, more comfortable senior life
Remember, the earlier you start, the better the outcome.
