My two had suspected FORL at one vet, and the vet was talking straight away anaesthetic and expensive teeth removal, not even an x ray to check. Took the cats to another vet and they said try tooth brushing and oral biscuits and come back in three months and if the things have not changed or deteriorated the vet wanted to x ray and then decide.
Tooth brushing and dental seems to have done the trick.
Does Higgs have FORL?
Am not stating that you did anything wrong. Wish I had been told to brush my cats teeth so the cats got used to the brushing as kittens.
