Teeth brushing for cats - any suggestions?

On our annual vet trip it turns out big boy cat (4yo) has a “minor build up” on his teeth with advice to try brushing them. Before I start on what I can only imagine will be a tricky, messy task which will no doubt result in me covered in foul smelling cat toothpaste and himself sulky staring through the cat flap, does anyone have any good advice or best tips? This is very new to us!

We’ve been told our cats have ‘minor build up’ - but they’re cats, not presenting The One Show, so I really wouldn’t worry about cleaning them. A mix of wet and dry food was advised to me.

Well I'd certainly be watching the One Show if they were.
