Oh she already lost them all?

She has, my vet is very good and always checks any animals mouth, every time they go in to her clinic. She saved Megan's life 3 times, over the 10 years she was her vet, and has told me that Gina is the best and healthiest Yorkie to be seen by her in a very long time. Gina's bite is perfect, not over or under, and we brush her teeth at least once a week, trying for everyday, but still not her favorite activity. I know she lost several while we have been playing grrr, with her rope or dragon or duck, Gin bites and holds on to one end and I hold the other and we both grrr at each other, Gina loves it.
Cheers Quad & Gina

Yeah, the toothbrush takes a while before they like it. Cookie would just try to lick her beef toothpaste off the brush at first, but she got used to it. The trick is to lift her lip up to get to the outside to minimize time the brush is stuck into her mouth (which is of course a necessity to get the inside).

I've been trying the toothbrush as well, and it's not going that great here :-) I also give Gizmo the vanilla/mint dental chews once a week. They are supposed to help break down tarter. The ones I get are made by n-bone and gizmo is so funny when he gets it. For like the first 20 mins of having it, he runs round whining and trying to hide it, like I made a mistake because it tastes to good for him to be allowed to have lol. He finally will stop hiding it, and chews it down :-) it takes him a good 45 mins to an hour to finish it. They are twisted so they get in between the teeth really well.
