How can you alleviate your cat's gingivitis you cannot afford your vet this month He is under a vets care but just don't have the money this time He is sore Is there something from home you can do?

For most infections...start herekittys are hard to treat, and first you need to hold them still, rolled in a towel, will usually work. Then get out the HYDROGEN PEROXIDE and use a Q-TIP to spread on gums, have some water handy to rinse with, it is better if you can have the water in something that will squirt, like a child medicine syringe. AnswerGreat advice from the above poster, but just wanted to add it's a two person job. NEVER lay the kitten on it's back rolled in the towel as the Hydrogen Peroxide will go down their throat. Be sure they are tilted slightly forward. Talk to them calmly and give them a bit of a rest in between this procedure. Kittens get stressed out easily.

Another alternative is to add small amounts of food grade hydrogen peroxide to their drinking water. However, before doing so, do your research on internal use of H2O2. It is useful to treat many diseases in animals and humans, and is well worth the time to find out all about it.

Is there any research information on dry toothbrushing technique and its efficiency in fighting tooth decay and periodontal disease?

For the most part dry brushing is just as effective on tooth decay and periodontal disease. But using a fluoride toothpaste can help strengthen teeth. It's just one extra step in fighting cavities. It will also help keep breath fresher.

Dry toothbrushing? I would like to see some sources on that... fluoride in toothpaste is known for its bactericidal properties, not so much strengthening teeth. For it to strengthen teeth, the fluoride must be incorporated in the developing tooth. This will form the fluorapatite molecule which gives extra strength to the outermost tooth layer, the enamel. It's better that you keep using fluoridated toothpaste approved by the ADA to fight the bacteria causing tooth decay and periodontal disease!

Make sure you brush and floss DAILY, bacteria under the gum line can cause decay, lead to bone and tooth loss and gum disease. Not a bad idea to rinse with diluted peroxide if you see bleeding but make sure you get to a dentist.

I have this stubborn hole in my gums too.

Why is the term normal flora used?

In broad-spectrum, normal flora are not invasive and do not usually cause disease. They occupy niches that supply their requirements for nutrients, oxygen and space to reproduce. They may provide some benefits in unknown vitamins, or some discomfort as they produce gas from undigested food.
