No matter what I have tried Bruce has never accepted me brushing his teeth, and I have tried in earnest since he got them...So I am not the one to give advice on this subject, but I find he will usually let me get either uppers or lowers...So I will usually switch off nights. And if he will not deal with that even, as is the case at times I will even try to just wipe them off with a wash cloth, which I know sounds silly...However, Bruce had a malformed bite as a pup and so he had to have some dental work to correct that and as a result we got into the habit of taking him to a veterinary dentist that he now sees once a year for cleanings. The dentist has never reported any significant plaque or tarter and usually remarks how good his oral health is and he is not the best brusher...So I would not worry too much so long as your baby has a good diet and you are getting most of the teeth fairly regularly...
Super impressed with all the good brushers out there!!! |
