Product Information

Select a toothbrush that does not cause discomfort. Different people have different sensory triggers. Depending on the person’s individual needs this could mean using or avoiding an electric toothbrush. The material used may also be important, for example selecting silicone over traditional brushes. The handle is made of lightweight but strong aluminum, which is impervious to swings in temperature, and foam padding provides a comfy spot for your hands—this soft grip was our favorite feature, in fact. Keep in Mind: The metal handle can get cold as you’re scraping and sweeping, so gloves or mittens are a must.

Plaque disclosing tablets can encourage cleaning. They stain plaque on the teeth. This can improve technique by showing which areas are being missed. Reducing sugar intake The JosephJoseph toothbrush holder is our bathroom champion. It keeps a lot of Mumsnetters smiling and it’s the most-recommended toothbrush holder on the forums, which is exactly what we're looking for. There’s plenty of praise for its easy disassemble and easy clean-up, a size that suits the entire family, and slimline design. A muted colour scheme will complement any bathroom design, with function over glamour winning every time. How we chose our recommendations I put a few sheets of toilet paper in the bottom and change it when I clean" (Mumsnet user, PiggyPlumPie) If you are having a difficult time brushing and flossing your teeth you can incorporate an alcohol-free mouthwash that contains fluoride. This will help to cleanse the mouth, aiding in tissue healing and prevent cavities. But SLS can be irritating for those with dry mouths. An SLS free and non-foaming toothpastes can be more comfortable, especially for people whose ability to swallow is reduced.As an added plus, the handle extends from 27 to 36 inches long, which we found to be the perfect size, even for larger vehicles: long enough to reach across the windshield but not so long that we lost control of the brush or scraper. The handle is wrapped with a foam grip so hands don’t fatigue as you’re scraping. We especially appreciate that the whole contraption comes apart easily and can be stashed in its own bag. Where an electric toothbrush isn't tolerated, a manual toothbrush can be used. It should have a medium to small sized head, with medium to soft bristles. Mouthpiece (hands free) toothbrushes Obviously, not all of these will be possible for every body. But specialist tools and alternatives are available that could help overcome some barriers to oral hygiene. Dentures should be left out overnight. Use a soft brush, without toothpaste to clean the surface. Regular use of a denture cleanser will also help keep them fresh.

To get the best results from your electric toothbrush, you need to maintain it properly. Frayed or worn-out bristles will also lose their strength, making it less effective at removing plaque. If you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush, you should wash it under the tap afterwards to remove any toothpaste debris, and store it upright to let it air dry. The air drying process stops the growth of microorganisms better than closed containers. Enclosed containers can generate warmth and reduce airflow allowing bacteria to grow, so electric toothbrushes should always be stored upright, whether they're wall mounted, freestanding, or in pots. To avoid dirty particles from spreading caused by the aerosol effect, keep any toothbrush at least one metre away from the toilet. Closing the toilet lid before flushing is important to avoid contamination, so try and get into the habit of doing this. If you have a small bathroom and can't create a distance between your brush and the toilet, you may want to consider storing it in a different room. For older children and adults with limited dexterity and unable to use a conventional toothbrush. It allows patients to brush over the tops of their teeth, while tilting the brush slightly to reach the inner and outer surfaces. The wider spaced bristles hold water which can help deliver moisture to patients with dry mouth.Tall or wide vehicles can be difficult to scrape or sweep because most handheld tools are short and don’t reach very far. Not so with this product: Its pole is curved to make scraping and sweeping easier, and it’s 38 inches long to reach even the farthest spots on your vehicle. In addition to difficulty cleaning their teeth and increased risk of some dental conditions, people with disabilities often experience barriers to accessing care. This could range from being unable to physically get to a dental office, to experiencing discomfort during examination from a dentist.
