4. Accustom Your Dog To Tooth Brushing

Before you try brushing your dog's teeth, it's a good idea to get them used to you touching their teeth and gums. Start by simply rubbing your fingertip over your dog's teeth and gums. Don't press too hard and stop if your dog seems uncomfortable. You may need to do this several times over a few days before your dog is comfortable enough to allow you to start brushing their teeth.
