How Can I Brush Wife’s Teeth ?
This is happening now as her AD progresses. Will not co operate brushing her teeth by not opening mouth and biting the brush . Then she will swallow the gargling water instead of spitting out. Any suggestion how to clean her teeth ?
Am going to try these dental cleaning swabs and see how it goes . Never know these things exist. Many thanks !
Hi AungPe, Try another time in the day. Sing a song..brush your teeth jingle...so it will divert attention to your lovely voice. ( I say this cause I am no singer) I sang to my mother n law a lot. Also, a great stress reliever for one self. It's ok if you are unable today. Hope it goes well.
The drug store has foam dental cleaning swabs with mouthwash...can swab teeth even if won't open up;
My mom will brush if I get ready for her. Once I left the room to make bed and came back to see her brushing her hair with it.
She will not let dental tech do anything! Has been doing regular cleaning . I used electric one but had to switch back to regular. Will consult with dentist soon.
