Sticking to a daily dental regimen would be easy for pets if they have been used to it for quite some time, which is especially true if they were started at a young age. A healthy dental regimen always includes regular toothbrushing. Pet owners would not have to worry about the buildup of stubborn plaque and bacteria with regular tooth brushing. It should, however, be emphasized that a dog toothbrush is different from a toothbrush used by humans. Dog toothbrushes are designed to meet their dental needs and tend to have softer bristles. Pet owners should follow a specific technique while brushing their pet’s teeth. The bristles of the toothbrush should be held at a 45-degree angle to the teeth. When brushing their teeth, do so in a circular motion while also making sure to reach their gum line. Plaque build-up typically accumulates below or just outside the gum line which is why it is important to clear away that area when brushing.
