Do you think the 'MCs are prone to gum disease' story is exaggerated?

Shows that our grey cells must still be working though doesn't it,but a big worry that the commercial was sooooo long ago....!
I have to say that amoungst my friends who have MC's I do not know of many of them with gum problems other than perhaps a bit while teething but the interesting thing that I have noticed is it seems to be worse in the reds,my problem one is the red & white boy,another friend who had three only had gum problem with the red,enough to need ab's like my boy & a third person had it with "reds including red silver",rest of them no problem at all & we all tend to feed differently,one of them used to be dried food plus the raw .
We have a lot of MC's come through work now & I can't honestly say that I have noticed a lot of "gum disease"to make me think it is something they are prone too,perhaps will have to be a bit more observant but normally when it is a breed the same as yours you tend to remember more about them anyway so on what I have seen I would have to say I think it is exaggerated but no doubt the people out there who have looked into it,or who have MC's really suffering with their mouths would disagree......I am only too pleased that Bruce's gums seem to have settled down as he is getting older & his teeth are still purrfect !
