LOS ANGELES, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An April 19 article on Anime News Network reports on a series of short educational cartoons cosponsored by the Japanese Society of Periodontology and the Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology. All three characters in "Cat Bites Mouse" – a periodontist, a clever mouse, and a gum-disease afflicted cat – are performed by acclaimed 31-year-old voice actor Natsuki Hanae, best known for the popular dark fantasy anime, "Demon Slayer." Dr. Peiman Soleymani of Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center points out that, while the YouTube video doesn't feature an English translation, the unpleasant nature of periodontal issues is vividly illustrated by the halitosis-stricken, crying feline who is educated about her condition by an oral-health savvy rodent leveraging his knowledge to avoid becoming cat food.
