Hi there everyone
Been a while since I've been logged on...
Got a specific question and wonder if anyone has any ideas on this one:
I've been able so far to floss on my own, using dental tape, but am reaching a point now where its becoming a little more difficult to hold onto the two ends of the floss and move it back and forth between teeth. Tried dental picks and those lttle floss holders but its hard to hold onto those things. Anyone got any ideas?
I know it may sound a little wierd, but want to maintain my independence as long as possible in doing my ADLs, and I wonder what other people have come up with short of bringing in somone else to do it for me.
Thanks in advance
