In addition, you should provide your puppy with plenty of exercise and play time. This will help prevent boredom. Train your puppy not to nip or mouth your hands. If he does, give a loud, high-pitched ‘no’ and stop playing immediately. Totally ignore him for a few minutes. Over time, he will learn that playing too rough causes the fun to stop. Don’t ever hit or slap a puppy as this can come back to haunt you in the form of aggressiveness or hand shyness.

Moreover, you can remove temptation by keeping children’s toys, valuables, garbage, and hazardous items, such as electrical cords, out of your puppy’s reach. You can also keep your puppy in a room or an area where there are no hazardous items that can harm him when your puppy is teething. Provide him plenty of toys and chewing items to occupy his time. This is a good practice to keep your puppy safe when you are away.

As for dental care, you should take your puppy to the veterinarian for regular dental exams to root out any possible dental disease. Do ask the veterinarian about a diet that will enhance dental health.

Last but no least, regularly brushing your dog’s teeth at home is very important. Dogs are more cooperative if this is started at a young age. Any soft toothbrush or a piece of gauze wrapped around your finger will work. Be sure to use toothpaste formulated specially for dogs as human toothpastes can upset their tummy. This should be done daily or at least several times a week. This, and periodic professional cleanings throughout your dog’s life, as recommended by your veterinarian, will help prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease which can lead to painful abscesses and damage to internal organs.
