This video clip shows the fully assisted oral hygiene while sitting at the washbasin.

00:00:05.208 --> 00:00:08.556
Whatever people can do on their own, they should do on their own.

00:00:09.455 --> 00:00:16.803
It has proven to be useful to announce all measures with words and/or gestures.

00:00:18.062 --> 00:00:27.227
At the beginning of the oral care, all necessary aids and care products should be at hand.

00:00:28.932 --> 00:00:33.748
Oral care works best with good lighting.

00:00:35.110 --> 00:00:41.461
The washing area and the positioning of the person receiving care should be individually adjusted if possible.

00:00:43.907 --> 00:00:47.326
It should not be forgotten to protect the clothes over chest and shoulders!

00:00:49.209 --> 00:00:58.579
The head is bent slightly forwards and downwards not turned sidewards - this minimizes the risk of choking.

00:01:00.163 --> 00:01:04.704
At a minimum, protective gloves should be worn for personal protection.

00:01:08.683 --> 00:01:18.638
An ergonomic standing position in a kind of fencing position with good support makes work easier for the caregiver.

00:01:20.473 --> 00:01:25.453
The free arm secures the head without pinching it.

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.770
The jaw control grip allows a good and safe guidance of the head as well as the opening of the mouth.

00:01:33.625 --> 00:01:43.328
Before brushing the teeth, any existing dentures must be removed, and the mouth is to be rinsed with water or wiped out with compresses.

00:01:45.688 --> 00:01:52.460
Bringing the toothbrush to the field of vision activates the person receiving care.

00:01:52.931 --> 00:02:00.000
Brushing the teeth in the upper jaw can be done with a slight shift of the weight forwards or also by looking into the mirror.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.500
