At-Home Teeth Cleaning Tips Never use human toothpaste. It is not edible & can cause issues if swallowed. Instead, use pet safe toothpaste. Let your pet get used to the finger brush by letting them smell it or by stroking their face near their lips before attempting to brush. It’s important for them to also get familiar & accept the toothpaste you will be using. Let them smell it or lick it. Pet toothpaste is safe for them to ingest. Try using coconut oil to get them used to the process & when they are, slowly start to swap the coconut oil for the toothpaste. Lift the lip to expose the outside surfaces of your pet’s gums & teeth. Brush with gentle circular motions to clean the teeth & gums. Clean the outside (cheek-facing) surfaces, as pets will not allow you to brush the inside surface of teeth. Be sure to reach the back upper molars & canines, as these teeth tend to quickly build up tartar. Never stress your pet. Stop & try again later if they are getting upset. Always go slow & always remain calm. Always reward your pet with positive words while brushing & when done play, pet or engage in a favorite activity to positively reinforce the brushing process.
