Teeth brushing is a challenge for many kids on the autism spectrum and kids with Sensory Processing Disorder.
Brushing teeth is a sensory experience. Some children are resistant to toothbrush bristles and/or certain textures/flavors of toothpaste. It is easier to develop good behaviors from the outset, rather than trying to change behaviors that are bad for dental health once they have become established.

Some children with autism may have difficulty in expressing pain. It is therefore important to keep an eye out for unexplained changes in behavior, such as disturbed sleep, otherwise unexplained emotional outbursts, changes in patterns of eating
and self-harm.
Some children who are sensory-seeking might continually put things such as fingers, hands, or objects in their mouths. This is known as stemming. It is easy to think that the child is doing this because of toothache but this is not always the case, it might be their stim.
