I use a thimble finger brush once a day with poultry flavor toothpaste and have been doing it their whole lives. Eddie went 6 years before the vet suggested a cleaning, and even then he said they weren't bad.

Ideally, I'd use a larger brush or sonicare as sugarmamma does, but mine fight me too much with a brush and I decided not to push it.

I started by putting some on my fingers and rubbing it on their gums. Once they learned to tolerate that, I went to the finger brush. I let them lick a little before we start. They don't love it, but they don't fight me any more.
