Some people who have cerebral palsy may not have the ability to brush their own teeth. So, it needs to be done for them.
Sometimes, this may need to happen when the person is lying down.
(Dexter's lucky. Now, we brush his teeth in his toilet/shower seat. We used to have to brush his teeth when he was lying down.)
Having your teeth brushed for you must be the strangest thing!
Mostly, Dexter cooperates with us, but sometimes, he won't open his mouth or he bites down on the brush.
Why not have a go at brushing your teeth while you are lying down?
Or, let someone you trust try to brush your teeth for you.
Otherwise, use your non-dominant hand t brush your teeth.
Good luck!
