Kittens start to change their teeth from the fifth month of life bai. Cat teeth grow and develop through two stages, the milk tooth stage and the permanent tooth stage. In the mammary stage, the cat has 26 teeth, and in the permanent tooth stage, the cat will have 30 teeth, with two extra molars on the top and bottom. The growth of the cat’s teeth and tooth replacement is very regular, and the age of the cat can often be estimated by observing the cat’s teeth. Generally, three to four weeks old cats will have milk canines (two cuspids in the upper and lower jaws) and small incisors in the upper jaw, and by the fifth week, all the milk teeth will have grown. From the fifth month after birth, the cat starts to change its canine teeth. When the cat’s mouth is opened, you can often see that the gums of the canine teeth are slightly red, which is a sign of new teeth. 2. After a week or two, you can see that the cat has four canine teeth in the upper or lower jaw, i.e. two teeth in the same canine position, one slightly thicker, which are the new teeth. As the new teeth grow, the milk canines are slowly topped loose, fall out and are spat out by the cat.3. When the cat is four or five months old, the Director is in the tooth replacement stage and may lose its appetite. At this time, on the one hand, we should pay attention to the growth of the teeth in the cat’s mouth, and on the other hand, we should provide it with easy-to-chew food to protect the new teeth.4. One year after the cat is born, the incisors in the lower jaw begin to wear out, and after seven years, the canines gradually After seven years, the canine teeth gradually age. In the seventh year, the incisors of the lower jaw are worn down to a round shape; in a ten-year-old cat, the incisors of the upper jaw are all gone. Teething care 1. easily digestible food First of all, during the period of tooth replacement, it is best to choose those easily digestible food to feed the cat, which can save the cat’s chewing, so that the cat grows a little better. 2. teething toys Cats will have itchy teeth when changing teeth, so the owner should provide some toys for the cat to grind its teeth, which can relieve the cat’s pain. 3. prevent biting Cats In the change of teeth, temperament will become more irritable, originally docile cats will also be angry, so it is best not to provoke them at this time, to prevent cats scratching people alive bite. 4. change of teeth usually pay attention to the cat’s change of teeth, if the cat’s situation is obviously problematic, then it is best to send to the pet store to check. 5. oral hygiene during the cat’s change of teeth, the owner should also give the cat from time to time The owner should also give the cat oral hygiene from time to time during the change of teeth, so as to prevent oral diseases. Note that when the cat changes teeth, remember to change the diet to relatively soft food. If it is not changed, you should also believe that the cat’s spiny tongue also helps the function of eating. Hope the pooper scooper picks up the cat’s baby teeth.
