[QUOTE=ambercat;1130784]There are a couple of products that may help keep teeth clean Plaque Off can just be sprinkled in food ProDen Plaque Off: Natural Dental Care Product - £7.29 and Logic Gel Logic Oral Hygiene Gel: Enzymatic Dog & Cat Toothpaste 70g - £4.50

Really pleased I posted here - many thanks, I had a look and both these products look, at the very least, worth trying & I've ordered them - I currently have a siamese, 9 years old, I've had her 8 months.
Very loving. The best antidote I could have had for losing my other cats.
She does have tartar on her teeth & like Shabbydoll I am faced with having her teeth cleaned - my vet has said "sometime".
I took this to mean fairly soon but not immediate.
I don't think the vets like putting cats under for teeth cleaning any more than we do - I do know it is far better to do so than leaving gingivitus untreated.
I will take my cat back to the vet to check, but I'm definitely going to have a try with the gel & food additive.
To shabbydoll - I would take my vets advice - I think these products can help, but don't replace a vet cleaning & taking out any teeth that have gone.

I've yet to look at Jo's suggestion of Petkin in the water (I noted that there was a product to add to water with vetUK as well)
