Question to FMM: Are you still using that homemade dental cleanser with the aloe and hydrogen peroxide, and if so, did it work?
sigh... no. Not brushing at all anymore.
For the most part, everyone's teeth are in pretty good condition. The exception is Belle and her FORLs. I asked my vet if there was any correlation between diet and FORLs, and she said "they" really haven't found the cause. It is not related to calcium or other vitamin deficiency. The closest guess they have at this point is "genetics". I'm not crazy about that answer, personally... but without anything else to go on...
... my vet warned against gauze as too abrasive.
This seems odd to me, considering that a cat who subsists on a natural prey diet certainly chews on things much harder than gauze.
Also, chewing on bones is supposed to be one of the dental benefits of a raw diet.
