Boris is finally letting me brush his teeth again. How often should I be brushing? He's allowing me to use one of those finger scrubber things. Which is great because it was starting to smell like something died in his mouth....now if we could just do something about the bombs from the tail end.

Teethbrushing
You want to start with brief sessions once a day. Get some of the CET toothpaste, even if you don't get his teeth "brushed" the enzymes (sp) in the toothpaste help cut down the plaque formation on the teeth. Try for at least 20 seconds on each side. I brush my dogs teeth at a minimum once a day and try to go for twice a day. I use a toddler toothbrush with a really long handle and the Vanilla Mint CET toothpaste they love it.
I have tons of stuff at work on dental care if your interested let me know!
In you can, I would suggest doing his teeth daily.
I doesn't have to be long, and using even just water is okay, but keeping him accustomed to this ritual is the basic strength here.
