What's on my cat's teeth? Could it be tartar or a painful gum issue?

Question

What could that be on my cats teeth? Is it dangerous ? I brush her teeth from time to time but I have never seen anything like this ? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 3 years and 9 months old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chanel. She appears to have advanced periodontal disease. Her teeth have both tartar on them as well as a very inflamed gumline. She will need to see her veterinarian to be anesthetized for a dental cleaning. There is most likely an infection in her mouth that is painful to her. Cleaning not only the teeth, but under the gumline is very important. It will keep her healthier and happier. I hope this information helps!
