My cat lost front teeth. Is he okay? What dental care does he need?

Question

Hello I never knew that I ever had to brush cats teeth until I read up on it today my poor five-year-old cat lost both front teeth and I feel horrible he doesn’t look like he’s uncomfortable but I want to make sure He’s OK.. So is there anything I can do besides just checking his mouth to make sure he’s OK? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5 years and 1 month old | 9 lbs

Poor Smokey! Have him seen by a vet. He needs a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing, and the vet can check to see if there are any more loose teeth that need to come out. I’d call his vet this weekend to make him an appointment. I hope this helps.
