Typically, if you are feeding dry food and giving her chew does, that should be enough for teeth cleaning right now. She is young, and probably won't need to be brushed that much. I would suggest, which you are already doing, but the finger brush is good, however, if her mouth is that small, just wash your hands real well, and try using your finger! I have never brushed Fiona's teeth and she will be 11 months tomorrow, and I"m bias of course, but she has gorgeous white teeth, and all I give to her is dry food, pigs ears, greenies, and chew toys! I really think that it's genetics too with teeth, but try using your finger!!!!
