Cats do not develop the same type of cavities that people get. Cats do get holes in their teeth, but they are generally the same color as the tooth and are the result of tooth resorption rather than decay. Most commonly seen at or below the gumline, these "cat cavities" or "neck lesions" are now termed FORLs or feline odontoclastic resorption lesions. FORLs are very painful and often lead to shearing off of the teeth at the gumline. Difficulty eating, salivation, and tooth loss are some signs of "cat cavities", but sometimes no symptoms are noted until the cat stops eating due to pain.
tooth decay or a cavity, is a [[wiki/Disease|disease]] where [[wiki/Bacteria|bacterial]] processes damage hard [[wiki/Tooth|tooth]] structure ([[wiki/Tooth enamel|enamel]], [[wiki/Dentin|dentin]], and [[wiki/Cementum|cementum]]).[[#cite note-medline-0|[1]]] These tissues progressively break down, producing dental caries (cavities, holes in the teeth).
