I have a 4 month old chi, i bought her a tooth brush/tooth paste..and she doesnt like the paste nor the whole process ...and honestly looking at her teeth, they are whiter/cleaner then mine, LOL do i really need to brush them? let me know, also please read this also, tell me what you men think of this......the truth hurts sometimes!
"Men are under some weird bazaar impression that females are totally beautiful and lovely. When in fact. They are NO different then men. They burp. They fart. They stink up the bathroom. They also have smelly feet. Skid marks on their underwear. They are messy and they pick their nose and butts. But more importantly is they bleed every month. NOW please explain to me why men choose to ignore these disgusting habits in females? Because I refuse to believe females our above males. They are no different then us men. They are gross. And there is nothing special about them. Girls like to hide these types of behaviors. And I promise you guys when as soon as you"

You should brush her teeth and make her get used to it they will not be pretty forever.

I used to find them in towels, socks and couches! Sharp little daggers that fall out the same as humans first teeth do. Sometimes there is a little blood, sometimes not. You can look forward to the nips being stronger, but a little blunter when the bigger teeth come in. Now is a really good time for lots of chew toys, and a nice meaty bone to distract the chewing! EDIT: Hey "cheese", if you are such an expert, then my 2nd grader must be a genius, because he can spell and punctuate better than you. im = I'm no = know dont = don't and i = I - and a few correctly placed commas would make your answer more logical as well. Don't be such a smartypants....

It is advisable, although if you've only just started I'm not surprised if she won't let you. You are using proper dog toothpaste right, not human toothpaste?!
Dental problems are so common in older dogs and cats, so it's best to start preventative measures NOW to save your dog a future anaesthetic to sort her teeth out, and to save you a whole lot of money.
Perservere with brushing, or her teeth will end up how yours would if you hadn't brushed for ten years! If it's really impossible, at least get her some dental biscuits to chew on to help keep her teeth clean.

Your pupy is teething right now -- I would hold off on brushing the her teeth until she is done teething -- her mouth may be sore and that could be one reason she doesn't like it!
I get pups used to teeth brushing by dipping my finger in baby food (usually turkey or beef flavor) and letting them lick my finger, then slowly rub my finger around their gums and teeth.
It is very important with the small breeds to keep their teeth and gums healthy. They are notorious for losing teeth. Feed her dry food, dry -- no canned, no gravy types. Give her plenty of appropriate chew stuff -- sterilized bones, rawhides, milk bones,
etc.
There is alos a vaccine on the market (pretty new) to inoclate them against gum disease --check with your vet.

Right now it is more necessary to get her used to it so that she will let you do it when she gets older when it does need to be done. My 13 week old pug used to hate it and fight me through the whole process, but now he just lets me do it and gets over it.
About the second part of your essay: At least women don't do it in public, they show a little restraint (at least most) and if your girl has skid marks(gross), you should get a new girl because I don't kow any of my girlfriends that have them and that is nasty.

You may not need to brush her teeth NOW, but small dogs have notoriously bad teeth and dental problems, so you will have to do it eventually.
Getting her used to it by doing it now, before it is absolutely necessary that it's done, is the only way to do that.
So, while her teeth may be clean now, yes, it is important that you brush her teeth so that she gets accustomed to it.

You should continue to get your dog used to the brush so it will be easier when she is older and you need to brush well daily.

shes young enough that she will learn to accept it eventually, i would continue far to many dogs don't get dental care at all during their life time. and if you can prevent later problems its better for your dog and you.

no. usually you can buy dogs toys that help them "brush" themselves. check your local petstore, it's the best option for you. as long as she keeps chewing toys etc. she should have healthy teeth!
