Would chewing any biscuit clean your own teeth? didn't think so! There's no substitute for a little brushing and a vet appointment at regular intervals. You should never find red-lined gum edges when you check her gums frequently. For a week let her lick some canned squirt cheese off a toothbrush, a very soft toothbrush like a child's ultrasoft. It's the same squirt cheese sold to top a cracker conveniently. Then let her lick it off while you move her nose left and right and have the toothbrush moving a bit, and gradually work up to some brushing.

I use Pruden's powder which makes your dogs breath not smell and it keeps their teeth clean I ask my vets if my dogs teeth are clean enough and they say they look great. My Great Dane is 8 and his teeth have never had to be cleaned.

Pruddens powder is the best. It is very affordable. I large 420 gm lasts many months with my Great Dane. They get 3 1/4 teaspoon scoops with food. Another brand is called Plaque off. I highly recommend!

 

I've never tried these, but they come highly recommended.
