class=\"wp-caption-text\">Regular teeth brushing contributes to better overall health. Liz Coleman \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s quite common for cats to suffer from <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vet.cornell.edu\/departments-centers-and-institutes\/cornell-feline-health-center\/health-information\/feline-health-topics\/feline-dental-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental disease<\/a><\/u>, with 50% to 90% oexhibiting signs by the age of 4. Unfortunately, since cats can&#8217;t communicate when something is wrong, it often goes unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>Although pet food manufacturers often claim that <u><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/best-dry-cat-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dry cat food<\/a><\/u> helps clean teeth, it&#8217;s not enough to remove plaque and tartar that can lead to <u><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/feline-gingivitis\">gingivitis<\/a><\/u>. And while <u><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/best-dental-cat-treats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental treats<\/a><\/u> and water additives can help, they\u2019re not a suitable replacement for regular brushing.<\/p>\n<p>Ignoring dental disease can introduce a host of problems for your cat. For one, it can cause severe pain and inflammation, making it difficult for your cat to eat and drink. Additionally, bacteria might enter the bloodstream, causing systemic infection. In serious cases, dental disease can necessitate the removal of some of your cat&#8217;s teeth.<\/p>\n<p>To protect your cat&#8217;s dental health, it&#8217;s best to <u><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/how-to-brush-your-cats-teeth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brush their teeth<\/a><\/u> regularly with a cat-specific toothpaste. If your cat is initially wary, there are also antiseptic gels and rinses that can help in the meantime. These products won&#8217;t be as effective as toothbrushing, but they&#8217;re better than nothing.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Trust Cats.com<\/h2>\n<p>Before making my product selections, I read up on <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vet.cornell.edu\/departments-centers-and-institutes\/cornell-feline-health-center\/health-information\/feline-health-topics\/feline-dental-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">periodontal disease in cats<\/a><\/u> and preventative care recommended by veterinary professionals. I also researched common <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabidigitallibrary.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.5555\/20063121295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ingredients in cat toothpastes<\/a><\/u> and how they work. I compared these to the ingredients found in some of the most popular formulas on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s important that a toothpaste is at least tolerated by your cat, I read dozens of customer reviews and searched Reddit to learn what formulas other cats actually liked. During testing, I examined the texture and smell of each toothpaste. I also let my two cats smell and taste each one to determine which were the most appealing and which were not.<\/p>\n<p>Our rankings are determined by a variety of factors. Each cat will have different needs and preferences, so while Petsmile is our top choice, it might not be ideal for your unique cat. To help you choose the right toothpaste for your cat, we&#8217;ve broken down our recommendations by the type of formula, value, and other key considerations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#1 <\/span>Overall Best: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B1JQPMPC?ref=t_ac_view_request_product_image&amp;campaignId=amzn1.campaign.18UNCSSY5W7ZK&amp;linkCode=tr1&amp;tag=wwwallabou001-20&amp;linkId=amzn1.campaign.18UNCSSY5W7ZK_1751278669277\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_87835\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87835\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87835\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Petsmile-Professional-Pet-Toothpaste.jpg\" alt=\"Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste\" width=\"600\" height=\"291\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-87835\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liz Coleman \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">                                <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fpetsmile-professional-natural-london%2Fdp%2F339690\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$25.99 At Chewy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$25.99 At Chewy<\/a>\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B1JQPMPC?ref=t_ac_view_request_product_image&amp;campaignId=amzn1.campaign.18UNCSSY5W7ZK&amp;linkCode=tr1&amp;tag=wwwallabou001-20&amp;linkId=amzn1.campaign.18UNCSSY5W7ZK_1751278669277\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$15.99 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$15.99 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n<p>Petsmile is the only cat toothpaste to have earned the <u><a href=\"https:\/\/vohc.org\/accepted-products\/#cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal of Approval<\/a><\/u>.

It\u2019s pretty pricey, but if it helps protect your cat&#8217;s teeth, it might be worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"acc\">\n            <div class=\"acc-title\">\n                <h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n                <span class=\"acc-arrow\">\n                    <svg width=\"29\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 29 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M28.2766 0.403937C29.1452 1.00696 29.2458 2.06612 28.5013 2.76964L14.5 16L0.498716 2.76964C-0.245798 2.06612 -0.145206 1.00696 0.723394 0.403937C1.592 -0.199082 2.89968 -0.117608 3.6442 0.585914L14.5 10.844L25.3558 0.585914C26.1003 -0.117608 27.408 -0.199082 28.2766 0.403937Z\" fill=\"#828FA1\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"acc-info\">\n                \n<p>Calprox.

Liz Coleman \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You want a toothpaste that\u2019s both effective against plaque and appealing to your cat. Here are some things to keep in mind while you shop.<\/p>\n<h3>Flavor and Texture<\/h3>\n<p>To entice your cat and make brushing more of a treat than a dreaded chore, choose a toothpaste flavor that your cat enjoys. As <u><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/cats-are-obligate-carnivores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">obligate carnivores<\/a><\/u>, most cats will be interested in meat-flavored formulas (gross, I know, but they like it!).<\/p>\n<p>Pet toothpaste also comes in a range of textures, from thick and pasty to thin and gel-like. Different textures will appeal to different cats. As we all know, cats are particular creatures, so it might take some trial and error to land on the right one.<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>Since they can\u2019t spit out their toothpaste the way humans do, cats require a species-specific formula that\u2019s safe to swallow. Toothpaste made specifically for cats is meant to be ingested and will leave out harmful ingredients commonly found in human toothpaste, like baking soda and fluoride. It also excludes foaming agents.<\/p>\n<p>For plaque-busting power, look for enzymes, which often end with \u201c-ase.\u201d Some common ones include glucose oxidase, mutanase, dextranase, lysozyme, and lactoperoxidase. Abrasive ingredients like silica can help polish teeth. And antibacterial ingredients help fight bad breath.<\/p>\n<p>Sorbitol is a confusing ingredient that\u2019s found in many cat toothpaste formulas. In limited amounts, it doesn\u2019t seem to cause problems. But if your cat is prone to digestive issues, you might want to avoid it.<\/p>\n<h3>Application Method<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional brushing is the gold standard of pet oral care, but some sensitive cats might benefit from a brushless formula. Brushless formulas can be applied directly to your cat\u2019s gums and teeth. These are usually a thicker gel that clings to the teeth to fight periodontal disease without friction.<\/p>\n            <style>\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3{\n                    position: relative;\n                    background: #FFFFFF;\n                    box-shadow: 0px 9px 26px rgba(198, 198, 198, 0.25);\n                    border-radius: 15px;\n                    padding: 24px 110px 24px 110px;\n                    margin-bottom: 30px;\n                    transition: all 0.4s ease;\n\n                    font-weight: 700!important;\n                    font-size: 20px!important;\n                    line-height: 105.8%!important;\n                    color: #373737;\n                    cursor: pointer;\n                }\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3.active{\n                    background: #EDF1F7;\n                }\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3 .question-angle{\n                    display: flex;\n                    width: 24px;\n                    height: 24px;\n                    justify-content: center;\n                    align-items: center;\n                    position: absolute;\n                    top: calc(50% -

Most cats don\u2019t like having a brush forced into their mouth! The key is to proceed gently and slowly. Acclimating your cat to teeth brushing can take time, so don\u2019t fret if it\u2019s slow-going at first.<\/p>\n<p>Take one step at a time, letting your cat get used to having their mouth handled and trying the toothpaste on your finger before introducing the brush. Keep sessions short and offer lots of praise and treats. If your cat is still resistant, try adding other oral care strategies to your routine, such as water additives, dental treats, and chew toys.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                    <style>\r\n            .sourses-block{\r\n                margin-bottom: 30px;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .sourses-top{\r\n                display: flex;\r\n                gap: 10px;\r\n                margin-bottom: 24px;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .sourses-title{\r\n                background: #FFFFFF;\r\n                border-radius: 247px;\r\n                border: 1px solid #444;\r\n                box-sizing: border-box;\r\n                display: inline-block;\r\n                cursor: pointer;\r\n                padding: 12px 34px 13px;\r\n                position: relative;\r\n                z-index: 2;\r\n\r\n                color: #444;\r\n                font-size: 20px;\r\n                font-style: normal;\r\n                font-weight: 600;\r\n                line-height: 105.8%;\r\n                text-align: center;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .minus{\r\n                width: 48px;\r\n                height: 48px;\r\n                display: inline-block;\r\n                position: relative;\r\n                border: 1px solid #444;\r\n                background: #FFF;\r\n                border-radius: 50%;\r\n                cursor: pointer;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .minus:after{\r\n                content: '';\r\n                position: absolute;\r\n                width: 16px;\r\n                height: 2px;\r\n                background: #444;\r\n                top: calc(50% - 1px);\r\n                left: calc(50% - 8px);\r\n                transform: rotate(90deg);\r\n                transition: all 0.4s ease;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .sourses-title.active+.minus:after{\r\n                transform: rotate(0);\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .minus:before{\r\n                content: '';\r\n                position: absolute;\r\n                width: 16px;\r\n                height: 2px;\r\n                background: #444;\r\n                top: calc(50% - 1px);\r\n                left: calc(50% - 8px);\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .table{\r\n                background: #FFFFFF;\r\n                box-sizing: border-box;\r\n                position: relative;\r\n                z-index: 1;\r\n                display: none;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .table-info{\r\n                border-radius: 15px;\r\n                background: #EDF1F7;\r\n                color: #000;\r\n                font-size: 18px;\r\n                font-weight: 400;\r\n                line-height: 155.556%;\r\n                padding: 20px 24px 19px;\r\n                box-sizing: border-box;\r\n                margin-bottom: 24px;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .table-info a{\r\n                color: #000;\r\n                font-weight: 700;\r\n                text-decoration-line: underline;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block li{\r\n                margin-bottom: 20px;\r\n                margin-left: 20px;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block li:last-child{\r\n                margin-bottom: 0;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block li::marker{\r\n                color: #EC673E;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .table-item,\r\n            .sourses-block .table-item p {\r\n                font-weight: normal;\r\n                font-size: 18px;\r\n                line-height: 1.55;\r\n                color: #000000;\r\n            }\r\n            .sourses-block .table-item p { margin: 0;
