Severe gingivitis is common in cats that have a lot of plaque and calculus on their teeth. And any good dentist will tell you, "You don't NEED to take care of your teeth...only those you want to keep!"
We would like to ensure that our RMFR kitties keep their teeth! Or lose them, if that is what will give them a healthier, less painful mouth long term.
Due to accidents, malnutrition prior to arrival, and "normal" dental issues that are the result of aging, our cats often need dental care. In fact, it's estimated that 70% of cats have dental disease by the time they are 3 years old.
Standard care is expensive. A basic cleaning can run $150+. A complex extraction or multiple extractions can range from $500 - $750. And more severe dental issues may exceed $1000.
Your donation, in any amount, can help us provide the dental care our cats need. Thank you!
