Try making your own food for your cat.

Brush your cat's teeth at home at least once a week. There are plenty of conventional brushing kits on the market. These kits will generally contain a fingerbrush, a small pet toothbrush, and special pet toothpaste. You should never use human toothpaste on your cat, human tooth paste is too foamy and thus requires 'rinsing'. Something which cats are not very good at, feline toothpaste is specially designed so that you don't need to rinse.

Whether you choose the fingerbrush or the regular brush is up to you and your cat. To help your cat get used to the brush, you may want to start by placing a drop of tuna juice on the brush and letting your cat sniff or lick it. Then slowly and gently brush your cat's teeth using a small amount of paste and brushing for a very short period of time (a few seconds), then work your way up to brushing your cat's teeth fully. Again, your cat won't need to rinse, the toothpaste is specially designed so you don't have to.

Once your cat gets comfortable with brushing you can also start massaging your cat's gums after you brush. This will help stimulate blood flow to the gums and keep the gums healthy. You will also be able to feel for any oddities, broken teeth, or inflamed gums during the massage. If you do see or feel anything out of the ordinary consult your vet.

Lastly you can make sure to give your cat dry food as a primary food source and give him/her treats that are specially designed for tatar removal and dental hygiene. You can also use plaque control gels. Such gels are created so that you just need to place a small layer on your cat's teeth and gums once a day. Don't mix the gel into your cat's food; however, cat's don't chew their food as well as they should so if you put the gel on your cat's food chances are that it won't stay on their teeth long enough to do any good.

Newer treatment options include general cleaning, polishing, application of fluoride, and extraction of those teeth affected by FORLs or severe periodontal disease. Additionally, A CO2 laser is used to treat inflamed tissues and decrease pain. In addition, a home care program is begun. The client is instructed how to brush their cat's teeth daily, followed by irrigation with .2% chlorhexidine. If the initial treatment does not succeed within two months, then all remaining teeth are removed behind the canines. Although somewhat radical, in most cases this will provide long term success.
