7. Brush the Back Teeth

Once your dog is happy and relaxed having their front teeth brushed, you can try brushing their canine and back teeth. This is where plaque is most likely to have built up. Brush the outside of the teeth and the insides if the dog will allow it.

Some dogs won't tolerate having the insides of their back teeth brushed. If the dog won't let you, there's no need to force the issue. Dogs have rough tongues which help to keep the insides of their teeth clean.
