Help and Resources

Appearing like a sort of bristled thimble, a finger brush allows you to easily clean a dog’s teeth by simply placing your hand inside their mouths. This is often less awkward than using a brush and is particularly useful when it comes to control, as it acts as a kind of glove over your finger, meaning you can get to hard to reach places more efficiently. They are usually made from soft rubber or silicone materials meaning it gives a smooth and soft brushing action. Double-ended

A dog’s toothbrush usually has softer bristles to clean all teeth and under the gumline without irritating the gums. The brush head is smaller than those on human toothbrushes, and they have longer handles to make it easier to reach inside all areas of the mouth. But as well as being a planet saver, it’s also a plaque fighter, and also boasts properties which will prove highly effective against bad bacteria in your pup’s mouth. The Enzadent toothbrush has dual heads to reach all surfaces. It also eliminates the need for multiple toothbrushes in multi-pet homes. Similar to a regular brush, double-ended models simply feature a brush head at each end, and are usually slightly longer in overall length. The point of these brushes is usually that the heads come in differing large and small sizes. This means you can effectively use the large end to brush your pup’s larger teeth properly and then use the small end to clean smaller teeth without damaging their gums. 360-Degree HeadsAim for the outside of each tooth, as well as the gumline where dental disease begins, recommends Barnes.“It is best to start slow. First put some toothpaste on your finger and rub it against a few teeth,” she says.”Once the pet is ok with this, increase the number of teeth you rub.Once the dog is letting you rub all the teeth with your finger, restart with the toothbrush and toothpaste. Brush a couple of teeth the first time and work your way up.” Is toothpaste bad for dogs? The toothbrush is available in one color, which can make it more difficult to assign toothbrushes in multi-pet homes. Finger brushes are not quite as effective in removing plaque from under the gumline as regular toothbrushes are.
