The Cleveland Clinic offers these suggestions to prevent tooth decay as you get older:
- If you have trouble gripping a toothbrush, make it thicker by wrapping it with tape.
- To make your toothbrush handle longer, tape an extender around the end of the handle.
- Try a tongue depressor, ice cream stick or ruler.
- Use an electric or battery-powered toothbrush.
- There are several different aids that you can buy at the drug store to make flossing easier.
- Ask your dentist for suggestions.
- Thoroughly brush your gums, tongue and the roof of your mouth with toothpaste each day before putting in your dentures.
