I know you are looking for a way to do this yourself, but I can only tell you what I would do.....take the dog to the vet, and let him sedate the dog and clean its teeth. I take my Lab in for cleaning, not because she is vicious or angry, but because she is so strong I can't hold her when she decides she wants to get away. (The rest of the time, she minds, but she hates this) My vet charges $45.00 which I think is very reasonable. I also use a product in her water which helps dissolve plaque and keeps her teeth clean between visits. You can find similar products at http://www.drsfostersmith.com/ Also, nice big strong bones and a dental chew called Greenies.

If he won't let you brush his teeth, give him dental chews and bones.
Ideally you should brush the dog's teeth at least 2-3 times a week. Instead of coming at the dog with a toothbrush and trying to push it into its mouth, work on introducing the toothbrush to the dog. Be slow and gentle. If he lets you, you can try putting the dog toothpaste on your finger before trying with the toothbrush. Or you can try with one of those toothbrushes that slip onto your finger.
If he is really aggressive and tries to bite too much, you may just want to stick to dental chews and bones.

Let the pros do it.
Your hands + angry dog's mouth= possible finger snack for dog..... just being funny.
No seriously, I've tried and tried to clean, brush, and use dog antiseptic mouthwash to get rid of stinky breath... an otherwise lovable dog goes absolutely bonkers if I go near her mouth. It's not worth it for me to see her get all upset. I've tried everything to get her comfortable with me entering into her forbidden area, and she won't budge. It's best left to groomers, vet, or animal dental technician. They are great at putting a dog at ease and doing a thorough job as well. Most places I checked out before I found my favorite place will include it in the price of the grooming. For severe plaque or extremely bad breath issues, invest in doggie dental cleaning. It's a little pricey, but can add years to your dogs life and is great for their health.
Hope that helps a little, or made ya laugh at least??

if you can't wash your dogs teeth then give your dog lots of natural marrow bones you can also get treats called denta stix which help keep the dogs teeth clean, also try putting something tasty on the tooth brush and let your dog lick it first, build up to gently moving the tooth brush and in no time your dog should get used to having its teeth cleaned, at the moment you are probably going too rough and your dog is not used to it,

Give the dog a nice big raw meaty soup bone from the grocery store every week or 2 weeks. It will provide hours of chewing pleasure and the bone scrapes the teeth clean leaving the breath fresh. It is what nature intended. Dogs eat BONES. they are meant to. FOrget the tooth brush and buy the dog a nice fresh raw meaty bone.

That is the funniest question I have seen in awhile!! ahahaha If the dog in question is possibly going to bite, I would recommend either
a) getting the vet to do it
or b) asking the vet for a couple of mild sedatives so you can do it at home
either way, at least give the vet a call, they should have some tips; it's obvious but try and keep him calm, toothbrush and baking soda (not too much though) should do fine

calm the puppy down pet it, allow it to be with a nice toy, get it calm and sleepy. have an assistant approach you with a glass of water, doggy toothpaste (?) and the animal's specified toothbrush. brace the dog and hold it down, pull back doggy lips. assistant brushes teeth carefully.
