How often should I brush my dog's teeth? - Oakdale Veterinary Group
How often do you brush your own teeth? Most people brush their pet's teeth once a month. That really doesn't do much. They go to the groomer, and the groomer cleans them, giving them a quick brush. To have good healthcare, however, you need to brush your dog's teeth at least once a day. If you brush once a month they're still going to get 29 days out of the month where they get plaque and disease forming, so try to make that a daily occurrence.
