Yes,you absolutely have to-how would your breath smell if you never brushed your teeth? Cats need tooth care all their life and it's important to start young so they get used to it. Brushes,paste etc. can be found anywhere other pet supplies are purchased and there are many varieties(don't use human paste-it makes them sick). Start of just rubbing around the lips,then as the cat gets used to it you can progress to rubbing teeth and gums,maybe go to a piece of gauze or rag and then to brushing. It's a little trouble but worth it for kitty's health-bad teeth can cause everything from poor nutrition to heart disease.Good luck and thanks for caring.

No, you don't brush kitten's teeth. Plus, if you used toothpaste, or the tooth stuff for animals, your kitty could swallow it, and that would be bad. You should buy these treats, I don't remember what they are called, but as someone at a pet store. You just have to say, "Do you have a kitten treat for their breath?" And they will show you the exact treat I am talking about. And it works! I've tried it, and believe me, my cat's breath has NEVER been the same! LoL! Plus, my cat loves the treats.

No u do not have to brush there teeth in most cases all you really have to do is let them eat things like cat biscuit's and other things like that there are some brands of cat food out there that are specific for cleaning your cat/kittens teeth besides i don't think trying to brush your kittens teeth will be that easy some how o_0

yep, it's not bad to do so plus gets the kitten used to it, imagine trying to brush a grown cats mouth!!! Fur and Nails!
You may need to change her diet, just remember kittens teeth are still teeth, anything you give them with sugar in it is gonna rot them just like ours.

Yes you do because your cat's breath can be really bad. Take it to a grooming place and they will groom your cat and brush it's teeth. You should go to Petco.

Bad breath in kittens is usually caused by worms...contact your vet to see if your kitten is old enough to be wormed.

Yes cats need regular dental hygiene and vet cleanings, periodontal diseases can be deadly to animals!

Only if you're obsessive!
Stop kissing them on the mouth!
Cats are meant to chew on dead rats, next you'll try and re-invent the wheel, I suppose...
