Teeth Brushing I'm noticing that I'm skipping a lot of spots when I brush Joels teeth. Mostly the back and the gaps between his teeth but I'm doing everything I can, I turn the toothbrush in all different angles and brush the outside good, then I have him bite the toothbrush with his back teeth too and I also use the wipes to get anywhere I miss. I feel like for how much I brush his teeth they should be sparkling lol, but I see a lot of brown in the gaps. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?:( |
I brush their teeth w/their mouth open. I use my fingers to keep them from closing their mouth & I make sure the toothbrush is cleaning the outside, inside, the whole tooth. @ 1st, they hated it, but they keep their mouth open for me now. I can't do this to Momo, he won't let me, so I need to try & clean the surfaces as best I can w/out opening his mouth wide. They have the big tooth on the bottom towards the back & small tooth right behind it. It's the valley over the mountain...says my vet. That spot is hard to clean, so I've found that opening their mouth makes it easier to reach back there. Momo lost 3 of those small molars in the valley on his last cleaning. |
