If a Cat Doesn’t Get Brushed, How Often Should Its Teeth Be Cleaned Professionally?

Professional dental cleaning for a cat is not on a fixed schedule but depends on how clean the teeth are. When there is much tartar or plaque, take the cat to the vet promptly to avoid oral problems.

Untreated tartar can cause dental disease and even damage the kidneys, liver, and bladder, so clear it in time. To prevent tartar, brush the cat’s teeth regularly, about once a week.
