First train the Poodle with treats and toothbrush together: touch its mouth with the brush and reward if it does not resist. After a few times, increase difficulty by letting the brush touch the teeth so it adapts to the feeling.

Later, add pet toothpaste: put a little on the brush into the mouth; some dogs lick it off, which is fine–just brush briefly. After repeated training, you can brush the Poodle’s teeth.
