1-year-old cat teeth should appear clean, white, and without any signs of wear or discoloration. At this age, all permanent teeth should have replaced the kitten teeth, resulting in a full set of 30 teeth. It's crucial to check for signs of dental issues, such as red gums, bad breath, or difficulty eating. Regular dental check-ups and home care like brushing can help maintain their oral health.
