Conclusions
Feline dental disease constitutes a significant welfare concern, and its prevalence in the domestic cat population is increasingly being acknowledged within clinical practice. The insidious progression of conditions such as periodontal disease, TR and FCG often results in chronic pain and compromised quality of life, yet it remains underestimated by both owners and veterinary professionals.
The covert nature of feline oral discomfort emphasises the necessity for enhanced client education, early detection and the promotion of preventative dental care protocols. Consequently, VNs must prioritise raising awareness and facilitating engagement in home dental care, thereby mitigating the incidence and sequelae of debilitating oral diseases in feline patients.
