Your dogs teeth should be cleaned regularly for optimum health. No two dogs are the same so you will need to clean as often as needed. We do our own dogs every week.

The best brush to use is double-headed with the brushes at a 45 degree angle to clean below the gumline

Not all dogs are a fan of teeth brushing, tho with regular practice you can make the experience more pleasant for you both.

. Brush after exercise. Your dog will be more tiered and more likely to sit still.
