Took my cat to the vet today
Vet you see this brown stuff it's tartar it causes gum disease
Me is it
Vet yes it also causes bad breath & their teeth to fall out
Vet I'd recommend a teeth cleaning under general anaesthetic at $500
Me really well I can see no loss of periodontal attachment & the calculus (because that's the correct terminology not tartar ) is marginal at best there is no way that there is any chance of this cat losing his teeth due to periodontal disease in the foreseeable future!
Vet oh really what do you do for a living
Me I'm a dentist
Vet oh ok well I just have to tell you what's going on
Me whatever ;(
