Pet stores have a wide variety of them. Just pick a store and ask the sales person.
Otherwise, brushing helps.

Another dental related question, I just recently brought home a 7 week old APBT and he's teething. I've tried the ice cube and frozen carrot method and he doesnt seem to like the cold, any other possible recommendations? Sorry for hijacking thread op.

try getting him bully sticks. Just make sure you watch him when he gets to the end of the stick...The small bit can be a choking hazard. If he's a strong chewer, you can try deer antlers or himalayan cheese. All of these can be found at a nearby (natural) pet food store.
also, AVOID RAWHIDE CHEWS at all costs.

I have had 2 dogs now and I have brushed their teeth regularly since they were little... they will sit and wait when they see me get their toothbrushes... it really isn't that difficult if you start young.

I have never brushed my dog's teeth, or ever used denta sticks.
He's gone through lots of plastic bones and he loves to chew on rope. As a result, he has very healthy teeth (they're even whiter than mine, and I have great teeth).
