- Yiin 3y agoDepending on a cat, cleaning their teath while they're conscious might stress the fuck out of the animal, resulting both in quite uncomfortable for the cat treatment to keep them in a place and difficulties for the vet to get to the back of the teeth. Whoever does dental work for unsadated cats 99% only reaches for front teeth, and not actually potentially problematic areas.
