First, get them used to you putting your finger in their mouth. No brush. No toothpaste. If they don't like that, find a toothpaste that they like the taste of. I use petrodex poultry flavor. Put a little on your finger and rub it on their front teeth for a second. Don't try to brush. Do that every day for a week or so, rubbing a little longer each day. Then get one of those finger brushes. Put a little on that and scrub the front teeth. The next day, scrub the sides. Eventually, you should be able to scrub front, sides, tops, bottoms. We do it every day. Don't give up.
