I would say that age has something to do with the teeth.  A 3 month old has new baby teeth.. Bluie has been on a wet and dry diet for five years. At this time she has beautiful white teeth and a minute amt of tartar, very little. I do not brush her teeth because I like the idea of having all my fingers. but she has had dental treats since kitten hood.. I would not speculate which diet is best for teeth but I will say that for good teeth they need something hard to eat to keep the tartar off and teeth strong.. also a lot depends on gentic makeup of the cat..

I feel like the worst mom ever- Mimi wont let me near her teeth and they aren't white at all. I rescued her from the ASPCA about 5-6 years ago and they said she was already 8 years old. The vet has told me that bacteria can get into her blood stream and cause major problems. is there something I can do to get Mimi to open wide?   :cry:
