How many of you have ever had dental care performed on your cat?
Last year when Barnaby was at the vet, I was told that he was beginning to get a buildup of plaque or tartar on his teeth and they may need to be cleaned which would involve sedation and it sounds expensive. The vet recommended a Science Diet food made for tartar control which I have been using since, but just today I noticed that there was plenty of yellowing on his back teeth.
Because my cat has a fairly boring diet, is he still prone to tooth decay and is this type of dental care really necessary or is it just another way for the vets to make extra $$?
