Why does brushing cats' teeth affect their life span?
Oral disease can cause systemic disease
1 / Cats do not develop cavities
For cats, plaque doesn’t damage their teeth, but their gums.
2 / Grooming as a catalyst of bacterial infection
As cats are grooming themselves regularly, this is a high risk factor. Through the damaged gum, external bacteria can enter the cat’s body.
3 / Cats accumulate plaque twice as fast as humans
Moreover, cats build up plaque twice as fast as humans. These factors prove that oral health care has a huge impact on cats’ health.
Veterinarians say, the only solution is physical brushing.
Product Features
1 / Purring technology
We used analog, not digital, motors to imitate a cat purr as realistically as possible. Compared to digital motors that produce only one vibration, the analog motors that we used, produce various vibrations that resemble the natural sounds of cats.
The wavelength of the electric toothbrush mimics a cat-like purring sound.
2 / A more effective way of brushing a cat's teeth
We focused on the cat’s gums that are prone to plaque buildup and infection. This is how we could develop a toothbrush that is effective in taking care of cats' gums. It not only cleans the residue in the mouth like a conventional toothbrush, but also relieves inflammation of the gums and regenerates the gums by shaking the periodontal pocket.
3 /Safe silicone bristles
When using a conventional toothbrush, if you and your cat are not used to brushing their teeth, you might accidentally hurt the cat’s gums because of their resistance and your inexperience. This is why we have made the toothbrush head out of soft silicone that is gentle to the gums and can be 100% sterilized.
This soft silicone head can be sterilized 100% with boiling water, eliminating the risk of infection caused by contaminated toothbrushes. The silicone head that we have developed is made out of material used in pacifiers, so even when boiled it won’t be harmful at all.
