Many health problems can arise from lack of attention to oral hygiene. Daily brushing removes food particles and reduces bacteria. Early plaque formation should be brushed away to prevent bad breath and tooth decay. The brush sits comfortably on top of the finger, making it easy to reach all areas of the mouth. Make sure the pet is as calm as possible before starting. The brush should be wet before use and then a little Beafar toothpaste should be applied to the bristles. Gently brush your teeth until they are clean.
