Have you brought a kitten into your life and want to do everything you can to ensure its healthy development? Then follow today's blog post to find out everything you need to know.
Dental care is an important aspect of long-term cat health. Your cat's milk teeth will fall out at some point and it is important that you adjust your dental care accordingly. But when do kittens actually lose their milk teeth and what should you bear in mind?
How kittens lose their milk teeth
Kittens get their first milk teeth at around 2-3 weeks of age. They usually fall out between the 3rd and 6th month. As with dogs, milk teeth in cats have a fundamental influence on how the jaw and teeth develop.
You should tailor your cat's dental care to the individual teething period. This way you can avoid dental diseases and prevent serious illnesses associated with them.
There are special treats and chews that help to clean and strengthen your cat's milk teeth. Alternatively, we recommend the early start of dental care with our emmi®-pet ultrasonic toothbrush.
It is particularly suitable for small kittens, as it does not damage or deform the milk teeth that are still quite soft. You can brush your little cat's teeth in a relaxed manner without applying any pressure, and thus get them used to regular dental care in a relaxed manner.
How to help your cat with teething
However, it is important that you check your kitten's teeth regularly, despite regular dental care. After all, it cannot be ruled out that misaligned teeth or deformities can lead to serious problems in the jaw.
If you start regular dental care when your cat is still a small cat, you can, as mentioned, get your cat used to daily dental care in a very relaxed way. Regularly looking into its mouth and touching its teeth can also be important for later necessary examinations at the dentist.
In summary, your cat's baby teeth will eventually fall out. In most cases, this happens without complications and within the average time stated.
