| How often do you brush your babies teeth? Rambo has finally lost or had his baby teeth pulled. How often is enough for brushing his teeth. I know probably every single day would be perfect but is 3 or 4 times a week good. Thanks.

| I brush Callie's weekly as well as put oravet on here teeth weekly. She is a crazy bone chewer so that helps a lot. She is about to turn 5 and has yet to need a dental.

| I brush every day using a Sonicare with a compact head. Sugar tolerates it very well.....Curri is learning :

| Oravet is applied by your vet after a dental and then applied at home weekly with a swab. It didn't work at all for Sugar but some have greater success with it. Sugar's teeth are not good without lots of intervention.

| Thanks. I think I will try a Sonicare on Rambo, may be easier to brush them that way, at least you have a steady rhythym with it.

| I try for every day. Sometimes I'll forget and skip a day. But typically, I brush his teeth every night before bed with CET toothpaste. But he also gets petzlife gel a few times a week, and I sprinkle some proden plaqueoff on his food a few days a week. He had a dental in November and after it was when I started our regime of every night brushing and so far, it's working, they're still pearly white.

The gel and the plaqueoff - do you buy that in a pet store? I will traveling in the US in July so if so, can you let me know the name of the pet store and I will pick some up. Thanks for all the responses ladies.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I am OCD about Taycie's teeth. I am about my own, so I know that is part of it. I brush Taycie's 2 times a day. Morning and Night. After her Breakfast and right before bed. I use CET Vanilla Mint, and occasionally the CET Oral Hygiene Rinse. I brush mine twice a day, so I figure, why not Takes less then 5 minutes total out of my day. On a Side note: She did at one point have a calendar on my fridge that I put stickers on showing that we brushed I did get alot of flack for that! Crazy mom!

| I started brushing Rambo's when all his baby teeth were gone. About 6 - 7 months old. They pulled some baby teeth when he was neutered. I tried brushing before this but some teeth were loose so when I brushed they wiggled and he whined so I stopped.
