I have little rubber finger brushes. They seem too bulky for me & I have a hard time trying to brush with them, but eventualy I get the job done. They usually slide around in circles on my finger since they're not a snug fit to my finger, making it hard to brush their teeth. I always let them taste the toothpaste first & they try & lick it while I brush which seems to work OK for me. I am thinking about swiching to a baby or cat toothbrush, or possibly Wisps that I heard about in another thread. Wisps are from Colgate (I think) and are little brushes that have human toothpaste/gel in the middle. I guess you have to take that gel cap out (since dogs can't handle human products like that) & then they are good to go. I'm thinking about trying those but haven't gotten around to that yet. I think they are $6 at Wal-Mart for 2 Wisp brushes or something like that.
