As a parent of an autistic child the simplest of tasks can be a serious challenge.
Teeth brushing is often one of the most common, as autistic children tend to be hypersensitive, they feel things differently a to non autistic developing child.
Tastes, smells and textures can be overwhelming and lead to meltdowns, often unexpected and severe.
We talk to a lot of parents who have suffered with frustration and anguish at not being able to make tooth brushing a positive experience, some even going so far as to having to restrain their child in the name of dental hygiene.
This is not good for either your child or you.
When we developed Fuzzy Brush we hadn’t considered the benefits it can have for autistic children, but over the years our research has shown that it can be the perfect stepping stone, bridging the gap between brushing and not brushing.
We know that (particularly in severe cases) autistic children like to chew, whether it’s clothes or objects around them.
The Fuzzy Brush encourages this, whilst at the same time gives you the peace of mind that your child’s dental care is taken care of.
