@a_purple_phase: Well friends, here is part #2! It is easy to say I am NOT a fan of attempting to brush mom’s teeth and tbh neither is she!!! Oh my gosh! Yeah… I’m mentally tired just watching and reliving this! #memorycare #mylittlemomma #dementia #momlifeisthebest #alzheimers #mothersanddaughters #nursinghome #dentalhealth #brushingteeth #thetrauma #MentalHealth
Try the toddler brush that slips on your finger and she may do herself. Not as scary as a toothbrush

Lori u did amazing 🥰 I’m wondering if that’s why her teeth haven’t been brushed bc she may have resisted ? Clearly it took lots of patience and tenderness. 🥰🥰

Is there a device we could get for Michelle that would connect to the TV that she could wear or could sit next to her so the volume doesn't need to be so high?

We used to put my mom in front of the mirror and she would do it herself. Just a suggestion.

I worked at a nursing home many years ago… brushing peoples teeth was always hard. They just don’t like it for whatever reason. 🙏🏻♥️

Lori (Laurie?) would you post a few photos of your mom when she was younger?

Lori there is a brush called a Collis Curve that you can purchase on Amazon I believe. It will do all surfaces at once and is much softer than those hospital ones which have bristles that are hard.

I know it's hard sometimes to get her to do things. I work on an alzheimer unit. if a resident gets upset sometimes I just stop and try again minutes later. you did a really good job.

some times you just have to do it without much fuss even if she gets upset. tooth pain is the worst for sure don’t want that

Brushing your teeth with the nursing home toothbrushes is like brushing your teeth with a stick! It’s very uncomfortable because the bristles are so stiff. I’ve worked in nursing for 20 years.
