Brushing Your Pet’s Teeth
Your dog's mouth health can lead to other health problems with them just like it can for humans. Making sure that your pet's mouth is clean and free of plaque will lead to a healthy pet. 
A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Find a calm time when your dog can be relaxed.
2. Make sure that you go to your local pet store to get a pet toothbrush.
3. Test out how your dog will react to having their gums and teeth touched before sticking the toothbrush in there. Praise for tolerance!
4. Introduce the toothbrush by touching it into their mouth before you start the scrub.
5. Let your pup get a small taste of the toothpaste from your finger.
6. Put toothpaste on the brush and start brushing the top teeth first, front to back. Make sure to praise your pup.
7. Move to the bottom, front to back.
8. Tons of praise! If your pup tolerated this well give them treats and make sure they are well rewarded. After your pup is used to their teeth being brushed start removing treats during the process.
