Answer 2

Do NOT use baking soda. They are going to swallow it and probably not like it. NEVER EVER use human toothpaste. The flouride can be dangerous.

You can get a triangle toothbrush and tube of paste for $8.00. It should last a few months as you only need to do it about twice a week. I am not trying to sound mean, but dogs are like children and if you cannot afford their health-care needs you really shouldn't have one.

If desperate, I would make a paste of something like peanut butter and ground up cereal like bran flakes (NOT FROM A RAISIN BRAN BOX) please, to give it a gritty texture. My dogs love peanut butter.
