No one looks at the razor-sharp teeth in a kitten's mouth and thinks, “Boy, would I like to get my fingers in there!” And yet, that's exactly what this handout from Kathryn Primm, DVM, encourages clients to do-all for the sake of starting good teeth-cleaning habits early so that when those permanent teeth come in, the growing cat has been primed to tolerate (and maybe even like) regular dental care.
The handout covers:
> The importance of brushing
> Types of toothbrushes and pastes
> How to get started
> How to safely progress
