Toothbrushes

Plaque, the sticky stuff that builds up on teeth, can cause tooth decay and gum problems if it’s not cleaned off. Using toothpaste with fluoride helps protect teeth from tooth decay, and brushing also helps remove stains and keeps breath fresh.  For autistic children, brushing can feel overwhelming. The bristles, sounds, coldness, or even the smell of the toothbrush might make it uncomfortable.
