safe and resistant toothbrush

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has recommendations for a sturdy, durable toothbrush for a student who tends to bite down hard during oral care. We’ve had several instances where standard toothbrushes have broken in the mouth, which raises concerns about safety and potential choking risks. I’m specifically looking for toothbrushes that are: Designed to withstand strong biting/chewing pressure Safe and resistant to breaking or coming apart in the mouth Ideally used successfully with students who have similar oral-motor needs If you’ve used any specific products or have strategies that have worked well in similar situations, I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
