[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 481843, member: 11791"] Sigh. 1) sensory issues... makes dental hygene difficult. period. I still have hair-trigger gag reflex, and about once a week cannot complete a full tooth-brush cycle. 2) motor skills issues (esp. fine ones) can make the task more difficult. 3) fatigue... makes sensory and motor skills issues worse. 4) Really, its harder than it looks... try something more fun... like a battery-operated "electric" toothbrush... they do a GOOD job, with way less "work" (still takes 2 minutes, but you just have to move the brush around to all sides of all teeth... no actual "brushing") I'd have done the face-cloth "brush" at least... on top of the gum thing. Try brushing "after supper" rather than "before bed", to cut back a bit on the fatigue effect. [/QUOTE]
