A member asked:
Is there an alternative to brushing teeth, like something you can chew? it isn't from laziness--i honestly have a really good reason.

No easy way: If you are having difficulty brushing your teeth, you may want to get an electric toothbrush like a Sonicare. It can be a better way to achieve good oral health than a manual toothbrush. Toothpaste or not. Flossing is also essential.
