Tooth resorption in pets is a medical condition in which the dentin of one or more teeth – tissue that lies under the enamel – erodes over time and ends up being irreparably destroyed. In the most severe cases, all dental structures are compromised.
This condition is extremely common in domestic pets. Up to 75% of cats can have it, especially as they get older. Cats are more prone to tooth resorption, but dogs can also be affected.
The cause of the development of this disease is still unknown and its pathogenesis is controversial. Some authors argue that there are certain predisposing factors, although this has not been fully proven. Among some of the discussed factors, the following show promise:
It is believed that these events can trigger tooth resorption in pets, but direct causality has not been established. What has been seen is that the chances of developing the pathology increase with age, since many of the pets that present it are 5 years old or older.
Tooth resorption causes progressive dental damage so the symptoms will appear in the mouth and will manifest at mealtime. Tooth resorption can be extremely painful, but depending on the pet, they are good at hiding their discomfort. Some will not show any symptoms or obvious discomfort until the condition is severe.
One of the most common clinical signs is difficulty eating. The pet may try to chew with only one side of the mouth, drop food accidentally when chewing or bite carefully and slowly.
On the most obvious occasions, a line of blood can be seen sprouting from the pet’s gums. This can be accompanied by excessive salivation and bad breath that was not present before. Any gradual physiological and behavioral change can be an indication of progressive tooth resorption.
The diagnosis of tooth resorption starts by paying attention to the typical symptoms at home. Most of the time it is not possible to confirm the diagnosis without dental x-rays. Thorough anamnesis of the mouth is also performed by the veterinarian for a full diagnosis and to assess the severity of the issue.
Surgical removal of the affected tooth or teeth is usually the only option. After the procedure, the animal will be sent home to rest, along with the prescription of specific painkillers, in order to relieve oral pain.
Post-operation care at home is an important part of the treatment of cats and dogs with tooth resorption. Most of the time the pet will recover in a week or two, but during this time it is important to pay attention to their eating habits. Changing their food to a softer or pastier option might be needed.
Medication like painkillers, anti-inflammatories and, for the most severe cases, antibiotics, may be prescribed. It is important to give the pharmaceuticals as instructed by the veterinarian.
Natural herbal supplements can work as an added support, alongside the vet-prescribed treatment, and can help your furkiddo heal faster.
Supplements like NHV Mouth Drops, NHV Yucca and NHV Felimm can help to control the symptoms of tooth resorption and help address any discomfort.
Mouth Drops was specifically formulated to help control inflammation on the gums and fight potential bacteria in the mouth. This natural formula also helps address bad breath.
Yucca works as a natural anti-inflammatory and has discomfort-relieving properties. This extract can also help improve your little one’s appetite as they recover.
Lastly, Felimm includes herbs known for their infection-fighting effects. This herbal blend also works to balance out your pet’s immune system.

NHV Yucca is used for cats as a supplement to provide nutrients, and may be helpful for discomfort, inflammation, and to increase or balance the appetite.
NHV Yucca is used for cats as a supplement to provide nutrients, and may be helpful for discomfort, inflammation, and to increase or balance the appetite.
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.
Yucca - Commonly used for supporting arthritis, as an anti-inflammatory, nutritive, antitumor, and digestive supplement.
