Gingivitis in cats is one of the most common dental problems seen in general practice, yet it’s often misunderstood or missed by owners until the condition becomes severe. As a small animal vet with 14 years of experience, I’ve helped lots of cats with dental disease, and gingivitis is almost always where it starts.
Gingivitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the gums, and while it may seem mild at first, it can lead to significant discomfort and more serious oral health issues if left untreated. The good news is, with the right management and care, it can often be controlled and even reversed.
