If you want to.
No, you shouldn't do it. It's unnecessary, and it would cause your rabbit stress. Because cats and dogs eat meat, their teeth grow bacteria, and that's why they need their teeth brushed. Rabbits don't have that problem because they don't eat any meat or animal products (like dairy).
They don't need their teeth brushed, but they do need their teeth ground down because rabbit teeth are constantly growing. Most rabbits can grind down their own teeth by eating lots and lots of hay. Some rabbits, because of genetic problems, need to go to the vet for dental care.
