Can I cure my cat's gingivitis at home, or does it need a vet?

Question

How can I cure gingivitis in my cats. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5 months and 7 days old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

You can brush Roxzy's teeth with a cat specific toothpaste (do NOT use human toothpaste) and a cat toothbrush, but ultimately the only way to cure gingivitis is with a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing at the vet. I'd make him an appointment to get that done. Best of luck.
