Default teeth again

Just got done brushing Coco & Gracie's teeth. I held them while the wife brushed. They were pretty good. Plus I don't think they'll stay mad at me for very long. I think when you set a routine, there's not as much drama. We have pledged to brush at least once a week.

I think most folks know Yorkies can (and often do) have tooth problems. I read somewhere that since they are small in size, their sweet little mouths don't produce very much saliva, and this contributes to the problem (bacteria and all that).

So, we use the Colgate Wisps (popped the little "ball" out) read that tip on this site, by the way, and some good doggie toothpaste. Get those molars especially well. My wife will massage their gums a lot of times too, while playing with them, loving on them, etc.

Thank you so much cj125 for this reminder !!! It is so very important, an ounce of prevention...
