what's a good way to get a look at a rat's teeth?

I found that ole Lennier and Chopin would pucker right up, so couldn't get a very good look at their teeth.

I've compared when they yawn to pics I've seen online, but for example in Chopin's case, I didn't think they were long by comparison.

I felt bad, because when I had him into the vet a while before he died she said his teeth were getting long and could use a trim.

Thanks!

Tell them a good joke and make them smile. "How many rats does it take to screw in a light bulb?".

Or. . .

"I was at a bar having a drink, and a rat came in and ordered a beer. The bartender said 'we don't get many rats in here'. The rat said, 'And at these prices you're not likely to see many more.'".

I have no idea how to handle a rat as I have had minimal time to play with Moet and Chandon before they had their babies, and they are not friendly right now being protective. But I suppose a good tight scruff around the back of the jaw maybe with a leather glove is a start.
