Bruce has had bad gums from a very early age but his teeth are spotless & he crunches through the large kibble with no problem at all so I would rather just use an odd course of ab's if required then put him under the stress of anaesthetic unless really necessary.
As for the weight of your boy at the end of his growing time he will be what he is meant to be,you are making sure of that by how you are looking after him.....
As for cleaning teeth I haven't gone that far but provides an interesting image of lining six cats up outside the bathroom before they go to bed, toothpaste on their little brushes,rinse & spit please !

I really thank you for your answer.
The truth is that his teeth are really white and nice. Although, i forgot to mention that he does have a smelly breath.

The trouble is not usually the teeth but gums

I might try chicken necks.... though so far Gryfn has turned his nose up at chicken, eggs and raw fish....

Blue-Gato,smelly breath could be through lots of things, teething,the type of food you are feeding,or the resaon my boy has the odd course of ab''s gum infection which I think is where we kicked off on all of this.Have to say that I am going to try out some of the products that have been mentioned here,anything to help keep my lot with good healthy teeth has to be a bonus dread the time I take them to work & the boss says "dental tartar build up " because then it will have to be that dreaded anaesthetic word....

Hello!

I'm quite new to this forum. I hope it's ok if I write this here. I think I have similar problem than Blue Gato. Obi is 1 year & 3 months old. His baby teeth didn't go out in the back. Veterinarian gave me Stomodine paste and said that they will go out eventually. I was prepared that they would pull them out. He also has very bad small front teeth and a little dirty caninus (like a brown line) and bad breath. I will post pictures because I don't know english words about teeth and mouth very good

Dirty caninus:


Poor front teeth:


Up in the back is the baby tooth that doesn't want to go out:


I'm sorry if pictures are too big. Do you think I should go to another veterinarian?

Hi & welcome to the forum, the gum round the back tooth looks imflamed so possible infection & thats why there is a bad smell

Have to agree with Louie-Louie that the back tooth looks quite sore & painful,couldn't see that there is anything wrong with the front teeth.It is quite unusual to get a retained baby tooth at the back & by now I would have thought it would have come out if it was going too,I think I would have another word with your vet because yes that is most probaly what is causing a smell.Isn't he good letting you hold his mouth open I would have had no chance of getting pictures of any of mine like that.

Ok, now imagine that my cats gums are like Invisible's, but all of them. They 're red near the teeth.
Unfortunately, mine wont let me take a picture of him. He 'll rip me apart....!!!!!!!!

Today I took Obi to vet. They will pull his front and 2 back teeth out. I am so worried and I feel so sick
