* First check your local pet food stores for dog toothpaste. It is usually sold in meat flavors, which make it easier to use on your dog.
* Do not use human toothpaste even though you believe you dog likes mint and peppermint flavors, they will probably burn your dog's sinuses and they are not meant to be swallowed, even if they are not harmful to people, it may upset your dog’s stomach.
*Start out by rubbing a small amount of the toothpaste over your dog’s gums, and teeth
Do this several times a week for a few weeks, so your dog is used to your fingers in their mouth and also to the rubbing and handling of his/her teeth. By wrap some gauze around your fingers rub the toothpaste covered gauze over your dogs gums and teeth. so if you not comfortable to use hand you can use toothbrush but you must use soft bristled toothbrush because if you use a hard bristled toothbrush it may damage or irritate a dog’s gums.
*Do not over brush. If your dog dental care has been more or less consistent since they were a puppy, you should only have to brush their teeth once or twice a week. Remember, they should not be eating candy or sweets, so they will not need to use the same diligence as their owners.
