If they're needing a dental done soon then it's proabably tartar on those teeth and no amount of brushing is going to get that off. It has to be scraped and chipped off.

However once they've had a dental done you can keep the tartar at bay a bit longer by 1-3 times a week brushing the teeth. You don't have to be as thourough as we do our own teeth, just the outside edges in the back near the gum line is fine.

One probably needs a dental in the next few months, the other is because of his renal failure, i don't want another dental done as he probably won't survive the treatment this time because of his renal failure and heart condition, so i am trying to do the teeth brushing hoping it might help him some, i have not been brave enough to attempt it again, but will in the next day or two.
