At what age should kittens start brushing their teeth?
Kittens can start brushing their teeth around three months old. Initially, owners can apply a mild toothpaste to a disposable finger cot and gently touch the kitten's teeth to help it get used to this action. Afterward, you can switch to pet-specific toothpaste to brush their teeth.
If your cat resists brushing its teeth, you can use cat-specific mouthwash or dental powder, but try to combine it with brushing. If your cat has severe plaque or tartar buildup, it's best to take it for a professional dental cleaning first.
