If the chronic stomatitis/gingivitis is due to a plaque intolerance, then it is essential we remove all plaque and keep it off. This is accomplished through: * regular dental cleaning and polishing by your veterinarian * fluoride application by your veterinarian * extraction of teeth with resorption lesionsor severe periodontal disease * daily home care, including brushing and the application of 0.2% chlorhexidine * antibiotics * corticosteroids * good nutrition, often with vitamin supplements since these cats may not eat as much as they should because of the discomfort Unfortunately, even with this intensive care, the disease often progresses and the only way to cure the disease and eliminate the very painful lesions is to extract all of the teeth in back of the large canine teeth (fangs). This may appear drastic, but in almost all cases it is the only alternative. In cases of juvenile onset gingivitis, professional teeth cleaning every 2 months and once- to twice-daily brushing at home for the first year or so of their life, may allow them to revert to a more normal status as they age.
