Soft food itself increases tartar build-up. There are studies on that referred to in _Biology
and Diseases of the Ferret_.
There is also a statistical relationship between cardiovascular disease and gum disease. The
possibilities exist that each worsens the other, or there may be a unilateral relationship, or
perhaps a common origin. The risk of bacteria from the mouth which can get into the blood
stream are better known, but there are investigations into the others.
The idea of the diuretic playing a part is interesting and could make sense given the
problems dry mouth can cause.
Renal disease also worsens oral health and can cause mouth sores.
Congratulations on being able to give her 20 months good months so far.
