On second thought searching for loop might give you more accurate results I think the commenter was referring to a type of brush like this JW Pet Company Dog Deshedding Loop https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LHHHRJC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jhNhDbTWTAP0R
then I guess he won't need this
I thought that said "titties".
dog toothbrush is $6.79
There is dental cleaning without anesthesia though it is not as thorough. I'd start by looking for it in your area. Then there's dental water additive, and dental chews. There's also getting a smaller toothbrush like this and a tartar control toothpaste. My dog is an 8lb Yorkie and it fits in his mouth other reviewers claim even smaller dogs like 4lbs.

yeah, thousands is alot. i mean, my dog had a major heart surgery last year, and the total for surgery, meds, anethesia, etc was only $850 roughly. thats why i cant see spending more on something that you can do at home yourself, ya know? ever try any of these?:

I use a shedding blade and then blast my girl with a high velocity dryer.
The dryer/blower is so much more effective than just brushing alone. Even when it's not blowout season her hind quarters absolutely explode when hit with the blower.
edit: I'm not a big fan of the furminator. I think it's harsh on the coat by comparison and my girl certainly doesn't care for how it feels.
It is best that you brush their teeth once a day.
They make toothbrushes specifically for dogs but you can use a human toothbrush if you'd like, once you get him used to you brushing his teeth/handling his mouth you can buy some toothpaste made for dogs and start brushing with that (unfortunately you can't use human toothpaste as it has xylitol in it which is toxic to dogs).
Here is a video showing how to brush properly and it also explains a bit about dental disease in canines.
They also have treats/chews/foods made specifically to help reduce tartar, a lot of them are fairly pricey though. If you're going with the treat route then I would get some bully sticks (made of beef pizzle) and give him one of those supervised (so he doesn't choke on any small pieces) for about an hour a day, it will help reduce tartar and they're relatively cheap.

Why bother with a grip at all? They make fingertip toothbrushes -- if it's good enough for Fluffy, it's probably good enough for you.
Congrats on getting your new kitty. I really wish I had this subreddit when I adopted my girls almost six years ago. As a dog person, I've had a lot to learn. You seem like you're off to a good start.

I hope some of this helps. Sorry it's so long. My cats are both asleep and I'm just Redditing while waiting for Game of Thrones to come on.

I just came home and sure enough, the toothpaste we use is Sentry Petrodex. They think it's a treat so it's really easy. Carolina doesn't like the toothbrush it came with so we use a round brush similar to this:

I use this one. It works really well, especially in hard to reach places like the back teeth. Hope this helps!
I use one of these on a table. It works well and the d6s that came with it love me. Lol

2)One of the longest lasting chew things for dogs are antlers, but you do have to be careful because they are quite hard and your dog could damage his teeth.
3)Whimzees (dental treat that directly competes with Greenies) can take my dog a while to finish (10ish minutes) and they're cheaper (about $2.75 each for the 7ct bag or ~$1.66 each if you buy the bulk package). We stopped giving the Whimzees to our dog because they have definitely gone up in price (I remember them being about $1 each once upon a time) and they can stain the carpet while it's being consumed. I'd have to put a big towel down and make my dog eat on the towel. He'd shift around and then I had to shift the towel too. It just became more hassle for me so I stop getting them.
something like this is very good. You actually hold their muzzle shut gently and just get up in there with your finger and dog toothpaste: http://www.amazon.com/Nylabone-Advanced-Oral-Finger-Brush/dp/B006YFZXGG/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451256193&sr=1-3&keywords=finger+toothbrush
There's a couple of spray/foam products available on Amazon that seem to work pretty well if you use them daily. You can also buy a doggie toothbrush that fits on your finger which is often easier than trying to shove a handled tooth brush in your dogs mouth.
If you're very confident, and careful, you can buy a tartar scraper to try and chip off any thick tartar built up.
