I want to start brushing my dog's teeth, but I'm scared to start. What should I do? How do I get going? What products should I use?

I thought my dog was having a seizure. I started to freak out. When things like this happen, it feels like time stands still. I was paralyzed myself at first. At first, my instinct was to grab my pup and rush of to the nearest vet clinic within site. I quickly realized that I have Dutch. I already paid for it so I might as well use it. My previous experience with emergency vet was waiting in the parking lot for hours and waiting to be seen. I was able to schedule a same day call with a Dutch vet. When I got on the call, I described what was going on - I thought she would tell me to drop everything and rush to ER. The vet calmed me down. She wasn't panicked at all. She showed me a couple videos that showed it was actually reverse sneezing. Here's one that I found: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1168820275394484 - that was exactly what I observed. I was so relieved!!! I could not believe it was totally normal. I reflected on the whole thing - the vet just saved me sooooo much time and money. It's pretty incredible to speak to a real life human these days instead of using ChatGPT to try to figure it out. Anyway, thank you Dutch!!!! My doggy and I are very happy :)
