Can cat oral inflammation heal itself?
Cat oral inflammation normally has a certain possibility of self-healing if the inflammation is not severe, antibiotics are used to reduce inflammation, and the cat's own resistance is enhanced. However, when the inflammation is severe, most cats require artificial intervention, such as tooth extraction, drug treatment, or anti-inflammatory and bactericidal measures to promote the recovery of oral inflammation.
There are many causes of cat oral inflammation. Mild oral inflammation can be treated with antibiotics and efforts to enhance the cat's immune function and repair capacity. Antibiotics and vitamins can be given to the cat, along with nutritional supplements to boost immunity. If no artificial intervention is taken to treat the cat's oral inflammation, the inflammation will only get worse as the cat eats and uses its mouth daily. When the oral inflammation reaches a certain stage, the only solution is to extract all the teeth.
After tooth extraction, the cat cannot eat normally and must use soft, liquid foods. It also needs cleaning and care to ensure oral hygiene. Antibiotics should be used daily to prevent secondary infections, supplement nutrients, and promote body repair. Generally speaking, tooth extraction can treat oral inflammation, but follow-up maintenance is essential. If you really don't want to choose tooth extraction, you can also consider partial tooth extraction or immunosuppressive treatment. However, immunosuppressive treatment will also affect the cat's overall immune system and is not recommended under normal circumstances.
