Brushing your dogs teeth on a daily basis would be great to get rid of his bad breath but twice a week is fine too. It does sound like a lot of work and a nightmare to do but if you start your dog at and early age and get your dog use to it it won't be as hard and it can turn into a pleasant undertaking and good hygiene for your dog.
You can start by holding your dogs mouth and start rubbing it gently for a few minutes a day and afterwords always give your dog plenty of love or even a treat. Then move uo toLlfting up the lip and gently start brushing the out part of the teeth with your finger in a circular of a back and forth motion. You can also put on your finger tip a gauze pad to help. Start out slowly and eventually you will be able to do more teeth. In time you can graduate to a mini dog toothbrush and be able to use dog toothpaste. In various pat stores you can get flavored types to tooth paste.
One that your dog will like for example, meat flavored or what other flavors he may like. If your dog really doesn't like his teeth brushed then get a rubber toy of some type with some sort of groves on it that he would like and put some meat flavored dog toothpaste on and let him chew it and he could brush his own teeth It is important that you do not use people type of toothpaste but it is recommend that you don't. First of all most dogs don't like mint flavor and the second things is that people type foams up and since a dog can not spit out the toothpaste he most likely will swallow it and get an upset stomach.
Another thing you can do to try to get rid of your dogs bad breath is give your friend a carrot to chew on as a snack. Carrots act like little scrappers and will help remove the plaque. Check his diet. This could be giving him his bad breath. If he is eating a lot of canned foods then try to mix it up with dry food. The dry food will help remove some of the plaque off his teeth. Also add some rice to the dogs diet. Brown rice will help move things along.
The last thing is to give Fido a raw hide bone which will help remove plaque and help reduce his bad breath because of the constant chewing the dog does with it.
