My social worker also recommended brushing with devices looking like "sponges on coffee stirrers". For some reason, I thought I read about it here too. Coincidentally, yet another advisor recommended them yesterday and emailed me:

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 70 | OCF is about ready to take delivery on some VERY VERY soft tooth brushes to use during the worst part of it all, and while I don't have them all in hand right now ready to put up in the OCF store online, I can send you the few samples that I have ( sterile in the bags still). Just email me your adress and I will see that you get them.
