Dogs need to get used to tooth brushing very gradually, and you have to make sure they learn to enjoy the experience. Each dog is unique and the training must adapt to its rhythm. You have to be careful when you put your fingers in the dog's mouth. It is not advisable to do so in aggressive dogs or dogs with a tendency to bite.

    Wash your hands and put some toothpaste on your index finger.
    Let the dog lick the toothpaste from your finger.

    Put toothpaste on your index finger, insert it gently into the dog's mouth and slide it over the surface of the teeth and gums.
