Dental Care for Cairn Terriers
If anyone reads this article that has successfully been able to regularly brush their Cairn Terrier's dogs teeth, I would be glad to hear how you did it and share it with my website visitors (giving you credits for the article).
"I love to find all kinds of goodies in my turtle sandbox like leaves, twigs, rocks and, oh boy, those homemade dog treats are yummy!" 
Happy Jack
Cairn Terriers are wiry little dogs and don't like to have their teeth messed with. At least that has been my experience my two Cairn Terriers, Molly and Jack.
I have tried a number of times to brush their teeth and it was not a successful experience. However, if it continues to be a problem, I will do what other responsible dog owners do and have a dental scaling done by the vet under short-acting anesthesia.
Tarter build up on teeth can cause a great deal of other problems in dogs. Both of my mixed breeds have teeth and gum problems which eventually lead to other type infections. I will not make that mistake with my Cairns. Back in those days though, brushing a dog's teeth was unheard of. Little did we know then about proper canine dental care.

Wrapping the dog in a bath towel so that their front legs are secured works well to control them. Also my doggie dentist likes the finger brushes for more flexibility.
