My mother is finally unable to eat orally, at all. In the past week she has gone from eating 3 pureedm meals a day and some thickened fluids to nothing at all apart from her peg nutrition.
Now, how do we ensure her mouth ensures clean and healthy and free from fungal infections, bacteria and so on? It seems that a moist dark orifice with no food or water regularly flowing past would be an idea breeding ground for all kinds of nasties. Is cleaning her teeth daily enough, or is there more we should be doing?
Thanks.
