article: Dissolve ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) of baking soda in ½ cup (118 ml) of warm water. Rinse your mouth and gargle with the solution for 30 seconds. Then spit out the mixture and rinse your mouth with fresh water. This simple mouthwash can eliminate bad breath, kill bad bacteria in your mouth, and help prevent tooth decay. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup (235 ml) of warm water and 1 teaspoon (5 g) of baking soda. Place your combs and brushes into the bowl and let them soak for about 30 minutes to remove oils and residue. Remove the combs and brushes from the solution and rinse them with fresh water. Pat them dry, and leave them to air dry completely. You can also use this same method to clean and deodorize toothbrushes, retainers, dentures, and other oral appliances. Use 2 teaspoons (10 g) of baking soda per cup (235 ml) of water to clean these items. Small amounts of baking soda can be dissolved in water to help soften skin and even alleviate diaper rash. Fill a large bucket, footbath, or baby bath with warm water and add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of baking soda. Soak your feet or hands in the bath for about 10 minutes to soften skin. For diaper rash treatment, dip the baby’s bottom in the water.  In very small amounts, baking soda can be safe to use for diaper rash because it will help to neutralize the acid (found in urine and feces) that’s causing the rash.  Only use baking soda sparingly and in small quantities on your skin, as the high pH can irritate and damage the skin.

Cut back on acidic drinks. Watch out for sticky foods. Be careful with medications. Be aware of health issues that can cause enamel loss."
article: Regular visits to the dentist will help you to be proactive in the fight against enamel loss; however, if you notice any of the signs of enamel loss in between visits, make an appointment right away.  Try to visit your dentist at least once a year. Though some dentists will want to see you every six months; going at least once a year will help with early detection of enamel loss. If you think you may have a cavity, point it out to your dentist at the beginning of the appointment. Mention any other symptoms you may be experiencing, as well. You may not realize it, but brushing your teeth too hard can negatively impact your enamel. Using a hard brush and harsh strokes can similarly contribute to enamel loss.  Always use a soft bristle brush, along with gentle strokes when brushing. Don’t forget those hard to reach places such as your gums and back teeth. Try to spend at least two minutes just on those areas, but brush gently. Habits such as teeth grinding and jaw clenching can be harmful to your enamel, as the friction causes wear and tear. If you think you may be harming your enamel at night, speak with a dentist about solutions for teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Getting fitted for a custom mouth guard or purchasing an inexpensive option online will help to protect against those harmful grinding and clenching habits. Mom always yelled at you for biting your nails, but did you know this seemingly harmless habit is anything but harmless when it comes to your enamel?  In addition to biting your nails, refrain from chewing on bottle caps and pens as doing these things can also contribute to wear and tear of the enamel. Chewing ice or tobacco is another stressful activity for your teeth and can result in chips and fractures, which contribute to enamel loss. Consuming acidic drinks temporarily softens your enamel, which leads to its eventual breakdown. This is particularly worrisome if you’re consuming these products frequently.  Ditch carbonated beverages such as soda and fruit juices that are high in sugar. If you do choose to drink soda or juice, get in the habit of rinsing your mouth out with water afterwards.  Sports drinks, wine, and beer are also high in sugar and should be avoided as often as possible. Just like with soda and juice, try to rinse with water after consuming these beverages. Sticky food, as you may have guessed, stick to your teeth for a longer duration than other foods. Additionally, they often contain a high sugar content, which promotes the production of acid.  Foods like candy bars and toffee can do a number on your teeth, as can starchy foods such as bread. You don’t necessarily have to give up these tasty treats. Simply limit your intake and space out your sticky foods. For example, if you consumed a lot of bread with dinner, try not to eat toffee for dessert. Aspirin, antihistamines, some asthma medications and chewable vitamin C can all cause enamel loss, due to their acidic nature.  Because these medication are acidic by nature, damage can occur when they come into contact with tooth surfaces. Corrosion is one of the damaging side effects. Know that you don’t have to abstain from taking these often beneficial medications. Always take oral medicines, such as aspirin, with a glass of water. For chewable medicines, rinse your mouth out with water, then wait a few minutes before brushing your teeth. This is primarily true for health issues, which result in frequent vomiting, as acids from the stomach enter the mouth and cause tooth enamel loss.  There are many illnesses which affect tooth enamel loss. Acid reflux, gastrointestinal problems, peptic ulcers, bulimia, alcoholism, and pregnancy are just a few examples of such illnesses. Despite what you may think, it’s better not to brush your teeth right after you’ve vomited. The acidic environment softens your enamel and brushing immediately can harm your teeth. Instead, simply rinse with water, wait for a half hour or so and then brush your teeth.

Understand the unique health issues Bengals can have. Consider taking out pet insurance for your Bengal cat."
article:
Like all cats, for a long and healthy life the Bengal requires certain routine health measures. As a kitten, this includes vaccinations, deworming, neutering, and having a microchip inserted.  Having a microchip in place means you can prove ownership is the cat is recovered from thieves or if found when it's lost. Make sure your vet takes care of Bengals, because not all vets do. Repeat again at 10 weeks, with the final shot of this initial course at 14 weeks of age. The vet will vaccinate against distemper and rabies, as a basic course, and discuss vaccinating against feline leukemia and chlamydia.  There is some resistance amongst Bengal breeders to giving the leukaemia vaccine. The reasons for this are not clear but are related to the ancestry of the Asian leopard. There is no proof whatsoever that Bengal cats are especially sensitive to this vaccine and there are no special complications in the breed.  Neither does the Bengal's ancestry give them natural immunity, as some breeders argue, so not vaccinating leaves your cat open to possible infection. However, if your cat is going to be purely indoors, then you can save yourself the debate, because an indoor cat is at low risk of contracting feline leukemia. Desexing is usually done between 5 - 6 months. However, some breeders insist on the kitten being neutered before they are homed (at 12 weeks), in order to avoid their kittens being used for breeding stock. Worming should be done at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age with an oral product, such as Panacur. Good products, such as Stronghold (UK) or Revolution (US), last for 1 month, so they should be applied monthly from 6 weeks of age. The breed is at greater risk than others of Feline Infectious Peritonitis. This viral disease is most likely to spread in establishments where more than five cats live and who use shared litter trays. Unfortunately, this means breeding establishments can be potential breeding grounds for the Corona virus which mutates and causes clinical FIP.  There is no preventative treatment for FIP, and if you buy a kitten that is incubating the infection, although feeding a good diet will generally strengthen his immune system, it will not stop him from becoming sick with FIP at some point in the future. Thus, avoidance is your best option. If you already have cats and take on a kitten from a breeder with a history of FIP, then make sure the cats do not share litter trays. The Coronavirus, which is responsible for FIP, is spread via feces, so the closer the other cats contact with poop, the greater the risk of them acquiring infection. FIP usually affects cats under the age of 12- 18 months, and causes fever, loss of appetite, and seepage of fluid out of the circulation where it accumulates as fluid on the belly. There is currently no cure for this heart-breaking condition. Before getting the kitten, ask the breeder if they have any history of FIP within their breeding stock. If they are honest, and tell you they have had problems with FIP or reports of homed kittens suffering from the condition, then sadly you should walk away and source a Bengal kitten from a different breeder. Other common health problems are HCM (a heart disease), PkDef (chronic anemia) and an early onset autosomal recessive disorder which can lead to blindness within the first year of life. However, many breeders screen against these problems and can reduce the likeliness of your cat having such issues. Nasal dermatitis was found affecting Bengal cats in Sweden. The scientists' conclusions were that this unique skin condition in the Bengal breed suggests a heritable cause. This will cost you a modest sum every year. However, it will help significantly if your cat has a medical emergency. It will pay a portion of your vet bills, depending on the exact policy, and it will assure that you don't have to make treatment decisions based on cost alone.
