WHICH AFFECT
THERE ARE 3 MAIN CHALLENGES WHEN BRUSHING YOUR TEETH
Learning proper brushing means chaining together 8 steps, a challenge for any child, especially with cognitive disabilities.
Motor Function requires unnatural wrist movement and coordination to maintain a 45° angle and proper pressure.
Attention Span makes it hard to brush for the dentist-recommended 2 minutes, when most stop at 1.
PHYSICAL
Over 80% of people with cognitive disabilities have tooth decay and gum disease, both linked to heart health.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL
Oral health impacts social well-being - bad breath can make it harder to form friendships or keep a job.
Current work arounds don't cut it...
Most adaptive toothbrushes are homemade, with caregivers improvising solutions and trying countless products that promise to help.
