Tooth replacement in cats is a lengthy process, usually starting between 6-12 weeks and not being completed until between 2-3 years of age. Here are some ways to tell if a cat is changing its teeth:
Observe the condition of the teeth: During the tooth replacement period in cats, their teeth will become loose and fall out easily. If your cat's teeth are loose or falling out, they are likely to be changing their teeth.
Observe your mouth: Cats may experience oral discomfort or bad breath during tooth changes. This is because new teeth are growing and old teeth have not fallen out, causing inflammation of the gums.
Observe behavioural changes: Cats may become irritable or restless during tooth changes, as their oral discomfort can affect their mood. In addition, they may like to bite or gnaw on things, which is also due to uncomfortable teeth.
In short, by observing the teeth and oral conditions, oral odor and behavioral changes, etc., you can preliminarily determine whether the cat is changing teeth. If the cat has obvious oral discomfort or other abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to take it to the veterinarian for examination in time.
