How to brush your Golden’s teeth When brushing your Golden, sit your dog on your owner’s lap or on the floor and gently lift the dog’s lips with one hand while holding the toothbrush in the other hand to brush the gums and teeth. Initially your Golden may not like the sensation, but persist a few times and your Golden will become happy with the brushing process and the delicious toothpaste treats. The order of brushing is to start with the back molars and then brush the incisors once the dog is used to brushing. If you find that your dog’s gums are red and swollen with bleeding, ask your veterinarian for help.
