Many pet owners prefer using a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dog-finger-toothbrush\/s?k=dog+finger+toothbrush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> finger brush<\/a> for easier handling and better control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pet Toothpaste<\/strong><br>\nNever use human toothpastes.

Ideally, it&#8217;s best to begin when they\u2019re a puppy or kitten. If your pet is older, a great time to start is after a professional dental cleaning, as their mouth will be free of tartar, and daily brushing will help maintain that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Brush Your Pet&#8217;s Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JuwOhkp4b7o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>View our step-by-step video on how to brush your pet&#8217;s teeth.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try the following tips for pet tooth brushing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow your pet to sniff and examine the toothbrush and toothpaste you\u2019ve selected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get your pet used to having its mouth touched by lifting the lips and gently rubbing their teeth and gums with your finger. Gradually introduce a finger covered in toothpaste, then try the toothbrush\/toothpaste combo (or finger brush if your pet isn\u2019t tolerating a toothbrush).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start slowly. Stop if your pet becomes agitated. With practice and patience, the agitation should subside as your pet gets used to the process. Aim for a goal of 30 seconds of brushing on the upper and lower teeth, on each side of the mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brush your pet\u2019s teeth gently in a circular motion, making sure to stay along the gumline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You only need to brush the outer surface of the teeth, including the front.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licking and chewing the toothpaste while you\u2019re brushing is normal pet behavior. &nbsp;It is also not unusual for a pet to keep its upper and lower teeth together while being brushed. In this case, gently maneuver the brush around so you can reach all of the teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure to reach the brush all the way to the teeth in the back. They can be easy to miss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End each brushing session with praise and a treat to create a positive association for your pet. You can also give the treat prior to brushing, instead of after, to generate excitement for brushing time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brush once a day, preferably, after your pet\u2019s last meal &#8212; this will remove the sticky plaque that has formed during the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bonding Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treat tooth brushing as a bonding experience with your pet. Approach each session with positivity and patience, and keep practicing! Over time, brushing will become a regular part of your pet\u2019s routine, leading to less tartar buildup, fresher breath, healthier gums and teeth, and overall improved wellness for your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Care at Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/\">Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center<\/a>, we take the dental health of our patients seriously.
