Dementia Teeth Brushing Cards - Step-by-Step Visual Aid for Memory Loss
Get all our digital worksheets and save
Printable step-by-step cards that let an adult with dementia or memory loss brush their own teeth. Post one card by the bathroom mirror and point to each step instead of talking someone through it. That protects dignity and keeps the habit going.
Designed by a clinician with 10+ years in brain injury and dementia care.
What's included (6 print-ready pages):
- 6-step card: turn on the water, wet the brush, toothpaste on the brush, brush all your teeth, spit and rinse, rinse the brush and put it away
- 3-step simplified card for when fewer prompts work better
- High-contrast large-print versions of both cards for low vision
- Bonus "Brush your teeth" sink sign for the later stages
- Caregiver quick-start guide: where to mount the card, matching the card to the stage, making the brush easier to hold, brushing together at the mirror, and spotting hidden mouth pain
Who it's for: family caregivers, care staff, and therapists supporting an adult with dementia, stroke, or brain injury at home or in residence.
