Q

Jim, a 14-year-old patient, presents to the dental office with his mother, complaining of bleeding gums and sensitivity. His mother reports on his medical history that he has muscular dystrophy and has had epilepsy since he was 3. A few years ago, he had to start using a wheelchair. He has difficulty bending his arm at the elbow and has limitations in raising his arms. The dental hygienist notes that Jim has moderate gingival overgrowth and generalized heavy biofilm accumulation. Jim’s mother states that she tries to help him brush his teeth, but he still wants to be as independent as possible and does not like to have help. She knows he probably cannot reach his back teeth by himself. She is also concerned that he may have several cavities because he eats a lot of candy when he is with his caregiver before and after school, but he does drink a lot of bottled water each day. What could be done to Jim’s toothbrush to enable him to brush more effectively?

A

Lengthen the handle of the brush
