I bought the spray, but it turns out that Thor hates the sensation of having his gums sprayed even more than getting his teeth brushed. Who would have guessed?

Britster, I recommend that you get in the habit of brushing his teeth every day. I do Thor's teeth every night, right after mine. It literally takes five minutes. Thor does not like getting his teeth brushed either. I started just using the toothbrush and rubbing my finger on his teeth and gums. Unfortunately, those finger brushes they sell are almost as big as Thor is, no way would I be able to get that in his mouth. I haven't tried gauze.

I just this week brought the brush back. For now I am letting him lick the toothpaste off and chew on the brush when he wants (BTW, he prefers beef flavored to poultry). I try doing one or two sets of teeth with the brush, but I'm still primarily using my finger. I hope to have him completely on the brush in the next 3-6 months.

I'm looking into getting that stuff you can put in their water also.
