My dachshund chipped her tooth and either had to have it pulled, or reconstructive surgery. I opted for the latter. I had to find a vet who specialized in dentistry. The one I found, had studied in the United States and has written several books for vets on different dental treatment methods.
According to him, this toothbrush is very good: Virbac C.E.T. Dual Ended Toothbrush
I thought the larger end of the toothbrush would be too big form my toy poodle, but he showed me it is not an issue. You just dip it in water (that helps to wash away the plaque like rinsing out after brushing your teeth) and move up and down 2-3 times in each spot. That's it. Since it doesn't require much effort, it is a simple task to do after meals. He recommends it after each meal, but I am too busy in the mornings and tend to do it every evening. I do use toothpaste (which he says isn't necessary) because I like to fresh smell afterwards.

Hope this helps.
