This is a really common problem! You can try to give her dental chews. Virbac CET feline chews are usually well liked by cats (not always). You can also add a water additive to her water to help rinse her mouth regularly. Just know that some cats are super finicky and know when the water has change. It is suppose to be "tasteless". Also make sure you vet looks at her teeth yearly and you have a dental done when needed to present infection and loss of teeth. I hope this helps!
