My dog ate poop from fur. Dangerous? How to clean her mouth, no brush?

Question

Poop got stuck on my dog’s fur and my dog ate it to remove it, she is in a heat so she licks down a lot. Is it dangerous for her to lick down with dirty mouth and how to clean her mouth without a toothbrush. Pet's info: Dog | Japanese Spitz | Female | spayed | 4 years and 1 month old | 11 lbs

No, it is not dangerous. Dogs lick that area all the time. You can use a human toothbrush to brush her teeth. You must use a fluoride free toothpaste. There are many YouTube videos available on how to brush a dog's teeth if you need instruction. Really that is the only way to clean their mouth.
