Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. Tooth brushing will be best and is easy to implement if you start at a young age. Use a toothpaste for dogs as the human formulas have top much fluoride. Start by offering the toothpaste as a treat. Once he likes it, then use it on your finger to get him used to you touching his teeth. When he is accustomed to this, then start using the toothbrush. A slow approach will best. There is a also a dental gel known as Maxi-gard. This is effective at preventing dental disease as well. I hope this information helps!
