[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teenage autistic child is struggling to brush her teeth regularly. We switched to an electric toothbrush several years ago because otherwise she just chewed on the brush and the electric toothbrush made the motor demands easier. Then she said the toothbrush was too loud, so we got a new, quieter model. Now she says she can't stand the feel of the bristles on her teeth. Any ideas for alternatives?[/quote] You’d have to ask the dentist about doing it long term but there are dental wipe things that you use on baby teeth. I don’t think they’d really get the molars though. Maybe a nicer toothpaste? My kids like the tanners brand- one likes the vanilla and one likes the chocolate flavor [/quote]
