When dementia makes family dental care assistance traumatic for everyone

My family is dealing with my mother's advancing dementia and she's stopped taking care of her teeth completely, but she fights us when we try to help, and we're all traumatizing each other daily over basic oral hygiene while her mouth deteriorates.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Dignity and health collide when caring requires force and force destroys the relationship you're trying to preserve.
