Abstract
This guide was created for people with an upper limb difference, on one side, with one remaining working arm or hand. Many people with an upper limb difference use their teeth to help with everyday tasks. Over time, this can damage teeth and make brushing harder. Researchers asked people around the world about their experiences. Many said they had never been given advice about how to care for their teeth safely.
