Beware of “double-row teeth”! What do cats need to pay attention to when they change their teeth?

A double row of teeth means that before the pet’s milk teeth fall out, their new permanent teeth have already grown in, but because the milk teeth have not fallen out, the new permanent teeth cannot grow in the original position of the milk teeth and are slightly misaligned, as if two rows of teeth have grown in. Many pet owners look at their own baby although the double row of teeth, but still eat well, they think there is no effect. In fact, the unlossed milk teeth will affect the normal development of permanent teeth, and lead to permanent tooth malformation, bite misalignment. At the same time, the double row of teeth is easy to accumulate dirt, two side-by-side teeth in the gap is very easy to leave food residue, with gauze, toothpicks can not get clean. Over time, this leads to dental calculus and bad breath. Oral cavity breeding bacteria, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, and over time the formation of periodontal disease, and may eventually lead to difficulties in eating, which may affect the life of cats. The dangers of double-rowed teeth Generally speaking, on the surface, double-rowed teeth do not have much impact on cats, and some cats with double-rowed teeth are still eating and drinking. However, double rows of teeth have a great impact on the new permanent teeth of cats, which do not grow in the position they should be in, and are not only unattractive, but also may not develop properly and have an impact on the future life of cats, especially in old age, when the life of cats with bad teeth is not so comfortable. Response 1. From two months onwards, give your pet dry food, avoid soft food, and appropriate calcium supplements. 2. Parents are best able to pay attention to changes during the pet’s tooth replacement to see if it can change all its teeth properly on its own, and if not, help them through human power in a timely manner. Often use your hand to help your dog or cat move their milk teeth to loosen them. 3. Cats and cats usually lose their milk teeth before they are one year old, so it is not recommended to pull their milk teeth before they are one year old! If your pet still has a double row of teeth after it is over a year old, then don’t hesitate to take it to the hospital to have the milk teeth removed. Cats may lose their appetite for a short period of time when their teeth are changing, so pay more attention to the growth of their teeth and provide them with easy-to-chew food. 2. During the period of tooth replacement, cats may love to bite things, including our hands and feet, wherever they can make their teeth feel comfortable. At this time we do not blame them, if it is really gnawing can not stand, apply some scented things, generally cats do not like to smell irritating smell, natural also avoided. Note that generally when you take a cat with double-row teeth to the doctor, you will not let the cat extract the teeth right away. If the cat’s milk teeth are loose, they will fall out on their own in a short time, but for a long time, it will be necessary to use violence on the cat and force the teeth out. It is recommended that you observe your cat’s oral condition during the period of tooth replacement to avoid the need for extraction.
