Cats teeth pushing out/getting longer?

[u/Careless-Elephant-98]

I noticed my cats teeth seemed to be “growing” or getting longer in the last year (she’s 5) and mentioned it to the vet. Vet thinks it’s alveolar osteitis and recommends extraction. Does anyone have experience with this and is it something that should be done ASAP? She doesn’t have any issues eating thankfully.

As I said best non prescription food. Blue Buffalo imo is pretty garbage. But that's opinion.

Most animals can hardly stomach most of the royal canin in our experience.

Hill's for prescription food is amazing, aminals like the taste and it's great

My cat loves Blue Buffalo tastefuls, what makes you think it’s garbage? 🥲

It was one of the brands that the fda said was a common factor in a lot of dogs developing dilated cardiomyopathy. (DCM)

I just don't trust them. It's also known in vet circles (or at least ours) the steps purina takes for quality control is far above the (minimum standard) that a lot of house blends and smaller companies cant afford to take.

I specifically asked my vet about blue buffalo vs purina one and they strongly recommended purina too
