Dental radiography is vital in feline dentistry, revealing root and structural issues invisible on clinical exam. Without x-rays, many problems go undetected, and extraction sites cannot be fully assessed for retained roots. As this requires specialised equipment not available in all practices, The London Cat Clinic is equipped with the latest imaging technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and complete dental care.
Tooth resorption affects around one-third of cats and causes progressive destruction of dental tissue, exposing sensitive structures and leading to significant pain. Diagnosis relies on dental radiography, which is essential for detecting lesions early and planning effective treatment to manage discomfort.
Root canal treatment offers a way to preserve fractured teeth that might otherwise require extraction, most commonly the canines in cats. The procedure removes infected or dead pulp, disinfects and shapes the canal, and seals it with a specialised material to prevent reinfection, helping maintain function and long-term dental health.
Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a severe, painful condition caused by an abnormal immune response to dental plaque. It can be difficult to manage and often leaves cats struggling to eat, groom, and maintain their normal quality of life.
Juvenile gingivitis or periodontitis usually appears as adult teeth are erupting. It is marked by significant gum inflammation and requires early diagnosis and treatment to prevent progression and potential tooth loss.
Malocclusions, or misaligned teeth, can cause significant pain and oral damage if left untreated. Early detection and intervention are essential to prevent complications and maintain your cat’s comfort.
