   I’m a certified veterinary dental tech. “Cavities” due to tartar and decay (dental caries) are rare in cats. More likely, those “cavities” and missing teeth are due to feline resorptive lesions, a whole other (and painful) condition. There are probably root fragments beneath the gums where those teeth have eroded. X rays, if not done already, would easily distinguish a carious condition from resorption. This is a common error even with experienced vets. Google FORL for more information.
