I'll definitely look into the fingertip brush as it sounds like a fun and stimulating activity for java too.

As for dental products, my vet recommended a special enzyme doggie toothpaste (cost me ~$10) that I'm supposed to use every day. She instructed me to let give it to him sort of like a snack--with a pea sized squeeze on my finger tips and then allowing Java to lick it off. As he becomes more comfortable with the smell and act, I'm supposed to try to rub the paste on his teeth (as much as I can before he licks it all off :D). I think the endgame to that exercise is to eventually have him comfortable enough to brush his teeth with the paste. The vet mentioned that even if he's just licking it, the enzymes helps break up the plaque.
