If she's already had them removed, my vet suggested starting w/a gauze wrapped in your finger, put some yummy doggie toothpaste on it & rub it around her mouth. Do little @ a time, don't give her a chance to act out. If she starts freaking out, let her go & try again a few minutes later. Always praise & give bunches of kisses when finished. She'll get used it, don't give up...could be that she doesn't like the taste of those dental wipes(?), my guys used to freak out @ 1st, but I told them that they can't win.
GL!
