You can clean Buck's teeth using a Pet-safe (dog formula) toothpaste, available through most pet stores or your vet. Dog toothbrushes are available in different styles including a small toothbrush like we would use for a small child or a finger brush (slips over the end of your finger and one side/end has bristles) and brush his teeth like you would you own. Alternatively, Dental chews or bones or antlers are a great way to give him something to chew and help to keep his teeth as well.
