Tooth brushing and stained teeth on neurodivergent teen

1 reply

My 13 year old has stained bottom teeth about half way up the teeth almost tracking the same line as her gum line. She is neurodivergent and hates tooth brushing but has become so self conscious. So 2 things, anyone found a good way to get neurodivergent teens to hate brushing their teeth (we already use a fruit flavoured toothpaste)? And how to get rid of the staining? Thank you

For staining you will need treatment from the dentist or hygenist.

You can get 3 sided toothbrushes, oranurse toothpaste (flavourless and non foaming) and an app like Finch to track teeth brushing.

Check the tooth paste you’re using has enough flouride as not all of them on the market do have enough.
