dental disease, mouth rot, many different things none good. the cat should be taken to the vet to be sure. cats with dental disease generally have swollen and red gums, yellow and brown plaque at the top of the teeth, and have yellow teeth.
the cat will proabably continue to eat even though she is in pain because she doesn't want to starve is a survival technique

i would say take it to the vet, but loosing teeth is normal all cats and dogs loose teeth over time.

malunutriton. take it to the vet. loss of teeth marks a lack of calcium. you can also feed it calcium enriched cat food. that should help it.
