What about some tarter removal without anesthesia, and with you cuddling the ferret while
the vet does that?

Enzymatic toothpastes could help.

Things designed to chew on could help as long as the ferret accepts them but doesn't go so
hog wild for them that they cause diarrhea, for example, Cheweasels and Foamy Fries but I
suspect others will mention other options:

I don't know if it will help gums but for mouth sores from kidney disease our vet has had us
put regular Listerine on a swab and swab the area. The alcohol in it helps reduce infection.

I hope those help you.
