If I let her clean her own teeth she would just take her plate out scratch it with her fingernails to get off the built up gunk and rinse and put back in her mouth.YUCK!
I got her an electric tooth brush when she moved in with me and she will use it if I stand right there and tell her how to turn it off and on.I have to soak her plate in a 3 minute soak because she won't go to bed without her teeth. Periodontist said to soak them overnight. When I remind her we need to brush her teeth, she usually says she already has (NOT) or "I have been brushing my teeth for 50 years without you and I don't need you to tell me what to do,". I say "OK let's go in and you can show me" She spends about 3 minutes just looking for what she needs as I let her do it herself and of course she can't even find the tooth brush or tooth pastes. I have to be in there when she does it because she has tooth paste for her implanted teeth in her mouth and a stronger paste for he dentures. Plus the soak. Finally after she figures out she doesn't even know why she is in the bathroom or where anything is she says " OK what do you what me to do?, and she will then let me help. It is a struggle and I admit some nights it is not worth the fight. The first time I took here into get her teeth cleaned after she had lived in assisted living for 2 years, and I realized no one else was going to remind her or help her with her teeth, the hygienist said her teeth and dentures were so bad they had to double clean and it cost twice as much for the cleaning as it took longer. Now after living with me and 2 cleanings later in 2 years they say her mouth and teeth look good with no problems. It is a lot like taking care of a child and they throw tantrums and are a pain in the butt too. I raised 7 great kids so now I am just raising another. The only difference is instead of progression you see regression and it is sad to lose that person that once was.
