Before dogs were domesticated, they didn't have 'greenies' or humans slavishly scrubbing their teeth with toothbrushes. I can think of a million things I would rather do! They ate raw bones to keep their teeth clean. Can we improve on natural instinct? No.
Give your dog a large, meaty, raw, split marrowbone once a week. Many people shriek Oh, but you can't give dogs bones, they can be fatal! But the point is, if you provide the correct bones, there is no danger at all.
Bones must be fresh and raw. Once they are dried out they can splinter and that is dangerous.
Bones must be large enough to not be swallowed whole. Throw them out well before they are small enough to be swallowed and get a fresh one.
Bones must be very large and should be split longwise down the centre so the dog can get the vitamin-rich marrow which keeps them healthy.
Get your dogs one each every week and their teeth will be fine.
Good luck.

Give them a bully stick once a week. It is a totally natural and digestible chew for dogs that works wonders on their teeth!
Also, you can brush and scale the teeth as often as possible. Even if they do not like it, it is still a necessary chore to do. How would you like to go day after day without having your teeth brushed??
Furthermore, if you really want their teeth to be as clean and healthy as possible, you can have your veterinarian professional clean and scale the teeth once a year.

1) Only feed him dry food. Soft food will not scrape away the tartar and plaque and will only create more.
2) Give him plenty of chewy toys such as rope toys (to floss) and rawhides to scape off plaque. Or greenies to do both.
3) Brush his teeth with a dog toothbrush and toothpaste for extra cleaning at least once a week.
4) If your dog will let you use scraping toold on any discolored areas. It will most likely chunk off like an egg shell or peel off. If your dog won't let you then you can always take him in for an yearly dental at the vet.

Just give them doggy chews, they enjoy them and it cleans their teeth at the same time and saves you the hassle of trying to do it yourself. Another good thing for dogs teeth is a big knuckle bone because the biting on that cleans their teeth, Please dont give them small chicken bones etc., because these can lodge in the throat and anus if they pass them and cause serious problems.

They have bones and dog foods that are specifically made to clean dogs teeth. Go to a pet store and they will be able to help you find some stuff.

they have special treats that clean their teeth and also have toothbrushes that fit onto your fingers and special toothpaste flavored for dogs. It is a flouride treatment. Maybe they will like the toothpaste. Milkbones and crunchy treats like that help scrape plaque and tartar off of their teeth

Raw bones, especially knucklebones (the part of the leg bone on the cow that would be right above the knee). My three dogs are on a raw diet and their teeth are sparkling, even my old husky/Rottie mix.

Brush you dog's teeth with dog toot paste you can get it at your local pet stores.
Or let them chew on rope bones this also removes plaque and tartar.
And dog biscuits help a lot.
Hope this helps

Buy Geenies. They clean your dog's teeth and they love it. They come in the shape of toothbrushes.
