You should keep brushing your dog's teeth as part of a regular grooming routine. Ask your vet first - before you start cleaning your dog's teeth, it's always best to ask your vet to show you the best way to do this. Start teeth cleaning when they're a puppy and brush their teeth every day to get them used to it. If you haven't done this before, gradually introduce it by having your finger near their mouth. Your dog will most likely need sedation or a general anaesthetic to properly examine their mouth. You'll then need ongoing commitment to regular dental care to prevent the disease from coming back. Ask your vet for advice first before feeding your dog bones, and supervise them if and when they do eat them.
