What if it's too difficult to brush?

If you have arthritis, you may find it difficult to brush your teeth and floss for good oral health and prevent disease. Ask your dentist how to solve this problem. Some dental products are designed to make dental care less painful for arthritic patients. You may want to try to tie the toothbrush to a larger object (such as a ball) to make the brush more comfortable, or the electric toothbrush can help you by doing some work for you.
