Vet Told Me My Health 3 Year Old Cat Will Need All of Her Teeth Pulled

Hello! I’m sorry to hear about your cat’s dental situation. It must be quite surprising and concerning to learn that she might need all her teeth removed, especially since she's only three and generally healthy. Let's talk about this to help give you some peace of mind.



Cats can suffer from severe dental diseases like tooth resorption or advanced periodontal disease, even at a young age. These conditions can cause significant pain and even lead to other health issues if the bacteria enter the bloodstream. Removing the teeth may sound extreme, but it often improves the cat's quality of life, as it eliminates pain and stops the spread of disease.



At home, you can help by feeding your cat soft food to ensure she's comfortable before any possible surgery. Keep an eye out for signs of serious issues, such as difficulty eating, drooling, pawing at the mouth, or bad breath.



If your cat exhibits any of these symptoms, or if you have any concerns at all, it's a good idea to reach out. Booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet can help you better understand your options and what to expect from this procedure. You're not alone in this, and we're here to help you and your furry friend.
