at 10 weeks they still have all baby teeth. It is not necessary to brush baby teeth; they fall out anyways. Wait for a while until he/she has adult teeth.
Our vet told us that at this young age all they need to get used to is your fingers in and near their mouths so just be concerned with that much right now.
Our vet also said that once he/she is old enough to have their teeth brushed, only brush the fronts of the teeth. It is not necessary to brush in the back; the dog hates it and it's not necessary.
We just obtained this information last night at our vets. Our baby is 5 months old and is still to young to be worried about brushing. We're just going to stick our fingers in his mouth so one day he'll be prepared for it. |
