I frequently have families and teachers ask me how to help students cope with the fine motor and/or sensory difficulties associated with toothbrushing. However, visiting the dentist is a huge undertaking and many students don't receive the care they need because of their difficulties with the sounds, smells and other aspects of the dentist's office.
