Just give him some raw meaty bones and he will clean his own teeth.
Improve his diet, throw away the kibble and canned. Raw feeding would be
best but even a home cooked diet would be an improvement.

This is a prime example of vets making money from pets who are fed a
commercial diet. I don't brush any of my pets' teeth and don't have to.
They all have bright pearly whites!

Muttley is almost five now, and the vet said his teeth looked "perfect". I
feed him mostly kibble, but also raw heart meat, various human food, and he
always has marrow bones to chew on.

Maybe we can take a poll on RPDH and get an idea if there is any
correlation between dental problems and breed and/or diet. But it would
still probably be statistically insignificant. Maybe if people would ask
their vets to provide some data, that would increase the number of samples
and provide helpful information.
