Hmm..well, Kai still isn't perfect when it comes to nail clipping but I guess you just need to remain as positive as you can. Kai gets a yummy treat when I clip his nails. Sometimes, I use a Kong filled with cream cheese (since it's his favorite) when I clip him. He stays nice and still for me and it's rewarding him for staying still and keeping nail trimming positive.

But for brushing his teeth, I'd try just rubbing your finger along his teeth for a bit until he gets used to it then switch to a cloth, then a finger brush and eventually a toothbrush. When Kai was a pup, I'd keep it positive by giving him yummy chicken flavored toothpaste.
