Your cat can benefit from having her teeth and gums cleaned naturally. Start getting her used to having her teeth cleaned by rubbing her teeth and gums with your finger. Once she is comfortable with this process, switch over to a soft rubber finger brush, gently rubbing her teeth and gums with the brush.
