One difficult and under appreciated aspect of being a carer for people with dementia is dental/oral care-this can be difficult as particularly in the advanced stages the sufferer will not cooperate with you cleaning their teeth or actively resist you doing so.Any tips or advice please?
--------------------
Get a dentist to take all their teeth out & fit dentures. Then when you want to clean their teeth- put a bucket of water & sterident in front of them & slap them on the back ... Voila! Teeth nice & clean :D
