Cat tooth replacement refers to the process in which cats replace old teeth and grow new ones as they grow. This is a natural physiological process that all cats experience. During the cat's teething process, new teeth grow at the roots of the old teeth and then slowly push the old teeth out. This process may last several months and cause the cat some discomfort, such as itching in the mouth and difficulty chewing. The main reason to preserve your cat's teeth is that they serve as an indicator of your cat's health. By examining the teeth, you can learn about the cat’s nutritional status, growth and development, disease history, etc.
In addition, cats may experience abnormalities during the tooth replacement process, such as dental deformities, premature aging, etc. These conditions can be discovered and diagnosed by preserving the teeth. Therefore, if you find that your cat has abnormalities during the tooth replacement process, or you want to know about your cat's health, it is recommended that you save the teeth and consult a professional pet doctor.
