Bad breath (halitosis) in cats, even with dental treats, often indicates an underlying dental problem beyond surface-level plaque. This could include significant tartar buildup below the gumline, gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth resorption, or even an oral infection. Less commonly, bad breath can signal systemic issues like kidney disease, diabetes, or digestive problems. While dental treats can help, they rarely address established dental disease. A veterinary dental examination, often requiring sedation for a thorough assessment and radiographs, is the best way to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment such as professional dental cleaning.
