This is very young for a cat to be losing teeth and I'm glad you are planning to see a vet ASAP!



I am certain the vet will know what to look for, but do ask about underlying medical causes - especially any vitamin deficiancy that would cause tooth loss. Of course gum disease and disease of the jaw bone will need to be carefully checked. There is a disease called juvenile gingivitis which is associated with bone loss. A full blood workup should be done to screen for FIV and Feline Leukemia.



Here's a link to an article on feline dental problems:
