His canine tooth broke off somehow and they had to cut and stitch his gum a bit.

Ok, didn't realize this post was under the cat section, and that this was the same one you posted about the dental on. Sorry, comes from reading posts when I'm tired. lol

The cat version of Hills isn't quite as big, but it is big. There are some studies that are showing wet food is better for the teeth than dry, which is contrary to what we've all been told for years. Honestly I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand you'd think crunchy food would scrape the teeth off better, but at the same time think about your own teeth....which sticks to your teeth more, crackers or tuna fish?

Some cats are just prone to more tartar and more enamal wear than others, that is genetic, all you can do is slow it down.
