Brushing your pet's teeth is not an alternative to a full dental cleaning if your pet has more advanced dental disease. But if your pet has been given the "all clear" from your veterinarian then follow these helpful tips for brushing!
🪥 Don't use a human toothpaste on your pet.
🪥 Do use a toothbrush without any paste at first so that your pet may get used to the object in the mouth before having to contend with flavor.
🪥 Don't attempt to clean the inner surface of your pet's teeth. Natural saliva cleans this surface on its own.
🪥 Do try to perform dental home care at least once daily.
🪥 Don't perform dental home care during the first week after a full dentistry in the hospital as your pet's gums may be tender.
