Hello. That is a great question. People have different preferences but I personally recommend the poultry flavored toothpaste by CET. I like that it has enzymes in it so any contact with the tooth will start working on the tartar and bacteria. As far as mouthwash goes I like the one from OraVet that you can put into their drinking water to help flush their mouse as they drink.
