Hello,
I have a new addition to our family. She is a 7 year old Husky mix. The vet told me she needs to have her teeth brushed. She had tarter buildup on her teeth. The vet cleaned them for me. But when I tried today, she would not let me. How can I train her? My last dog was already used to having his teeth brushed before I adopted him.
Help with brushing my dog's teeth.?
Well if the vet has already cleaned them that means all the tartar is already gone now all you need to do now is to PREVENT tartar and plaucque build up. It wouldn't be the best thing to brush your dogs teeth yourself because i bet you don't know how to do it professionally like the vets do it quick, simple and easy(that's not an offensive fact).
You should buy your dog DentaBones or DentaStix. They require all the extra vitamins and minerals for your dogs teeth to grow healthy and strong and the Bones and Stix also protect your dog teeth from plaque and tartar build up PLUS smelly breath. They cost around $ 3-7 for a 4 bone packet depending the size of the Bone or Stix.
Also Kong Toys are the way to go. You may know about them but if you don't they are like a toy but a toothbrush at the same time. They usually come with an attached doggy toothpaste which you insert inside the toy and when they chew on the toy it cleans their teeth while they have fun chewing and trying to root out the paste at the same time, It keeps them mentally stimulated that way also. The Kong Dental Toy is a specially designed rubber Doggy Toothbrush ( as i told you) so because its special rubber for dogs it massages the gums and feels great. The paste comes in all different Flavours like Peanut Butter, Spearmint, Peppermint, Meaty Treat and much more. All the flavours are all guaranteed to smell great inside your dogs mouth. Hope this helps you!
P.S I don't know how much the Kong toys cost.
Reply:start off first with just playing with her muzzle. do this for a few days then move onto lifting up her lip and massaging her gums. once she comes to like this you can introduce the toothbrush and just for a short amount of time rub it along her gums. once she's used to that add toothpaste, make sure it's dog approved toothpaste the human toothpaste is bad for dogs. once she's used to having her mouth handeled she will relax and it will be easier. but you're going to have to take your time introducing her to it, if you've never done it and just try to pin her down and brush her teeth she's going to associate it as a bad thing.
Reply:strange.. they didn't suggest those doggy treats that clean a dogs teeth "especially tarter"? ..or is this some thing where she can't eat right as it is?
Reply:there are soft dog brushs that go over your finger like a thimble. Easier to use. Then get a dog toothpaste.. something they like the taste of. Train in a small confined area, like your bathroom. Make it a habit.. like doing his right after your own.

Babys teeth (brushing)?
ime finding it very difficult to brush my 13 month olds teeth i can only brush them once a day its a struggle is there anybody thats been through this and any tips would be helpfull lol thanks
Babys teeth (brushing)?
Have you tried the bubble gum flavored toothpaste??
Make brushing her teeth a game. Kinda like, "Here comes the airplane or choo choo." You know your daughter best. What does she like the most? You could also give her favorite teddy or stuffed animal a tiny toothbrush and have her brush it's teeth while you brush her's.
Congrats on taking such good care of her teeth. It'll really pay off later.
Reply:Making a game out of it works sometimes. Or making a chart where you can mark how many times he/she brushes their teeth and after they get so many marks, they will get some kind of reward.
Reply:TRy getting kid-friednly toothbrushes and toothpastes. My nephew when he was one had a mouth full of teeth and he enjoys to brush his teeth.

Why do you get gas sometimes after brushing your teeth?
I find that sometimes after brushing my teeth i get gassy. I burp alot and my throat begins to hurt. This happens maybe 50% of the time when i brush, i also know that this happens to some of my friends. Does anyone know why?
Why do you get gas sometimes after brushing your teeth?
It happens because you might be ingesting air while you brush. Since the stomach has to get rid of that excess air, it either goes back out the way it came or the way everything exits.

Do you leave the water running while brushing your teeth?
For those of you who "actually" brush their teeth everyday.......
Instant results. Turning off the water between rinses can save at least two gallons in one brushing session.

Brushing a small dogs teeth?
I have a 3 month old Maltese puppy-I am told that I need to brush his teeth/get his teeth brushed. Can I do this at home? And if so any suggestions or tips??
Thank you!!
Brushing a small dogs teeth?
You can get a fingertip toothbrush or use a soft brush with a compact head or even wrap your finger in gauze or a small wash cloth. You can get meat flavored toothpaste for your dog that he may actually enjoy.
Just let him lick it the paste off the toothbrush for a few days, then touch the toothpaste/brush to his teeth for a few days, etc. Depending on just how sensitive he is to brushing you can draw out this process or get right to it.
Some people do this everyday and others even get their dog to accept electric toothbrushes.
if your puppy is prone to dental problems, there is a new dental vaccine out for dogs that you can ask your vet about.

Reply:I have a maltese too!And yes you do need to brush its teeth...in the store there is a special toothpaste for dogs and pups...you can use a regular toothbrush or if not there is a special toothbrush for dogs and pups too...and yes you can do it at home!: )( :
Reply:I've never done it with mine.. he's five years old and he has not tartars problem.. but you have to be care of something:
Never give him sweets, nothing containing sugar!!
sometime, like one per months, buy a special bone in a pets shop, one of those done appositely for dogs, ask there.. He/she 'll bite it for a while and it'd cleans teethe in state of brushing..
I give him also bread, like one per week, a very dried and hard bread piece.. it also cleans while he tries eating it!
Reply:My vet said that its fine to brush their teeth with children's toothpaste. Like bubble gum, or strawberry flavor. Dogs don't really like the toothpaste made for them, or minty flavors. Get a kids size toothbrush.
Reply:Yes - your local pet store will have a whole section for dog dental care. Get a toothbrush with two ends - one will be small and the other will be bigger. Also get doggie toothpaste - they come in all kinds of flavors that your dog will actually like, and then also get a rubber gum cleaner - they look like rubber thimbles with little bristles on them. Brush your dog's teeth about once a week and you shouldn't have to take them to get professional cleanings (which cost hundreds of dollars). Brushing your dog's teeth is the best way to prevent any future dental issues. Things like tooth abscesses, etc can be fatal for anyone - including dogs.

Do you rinse with salt water before or after brushing your teeth?
I just got my wisdom teeth pulled three days ago and the post operative home care instructions I received does not say anything about brushing my teeth. I have just been rinsing with salt water but my breath really started to stink and I have braces so I had to start brushing as best as I could. Should I rinse with salt water before or after I brush? I hate the salt water taste and feel like it makes my breath stink horribly.
Do you rinse with salt water before or after brushing your teeth?
How does the area seem to be healing? Are you having any pain or discomfort? Are there any other symptoms along with the bad breath? The salt water is used to sooth the area. It has been three days so if the area does not feel irritated I would stop the salt water rinse. If you feel you still need the salt water it is up to your preferance whether you use it before or after brushing. Good luck!
Reply:yeah
Reply:Yuk, you need to get with the toothbrush ASAP you're not going to hurt anything unless you brush the extraction areas. The salt water is to help keep those sutures clean and help healing so I would do it after you brush. If you have a problem with the smell then it's OK to use a mouthwash, just don't rinse or spit to vigorously or you'll likely pull out a blood clot. Hope this helps.
