Hi Danielle, As a starting point, try looking at https://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/cerebral-palsy/dental

Hi Danielle,
Welcome to the community!
We also have some tips around brushing teeth here that might help:
https://www.scope.org.uk/support/tips/hygiene/teeth
As she is peg feed - I thought you might be interested in a storybook and colour sheets that Scope has produced with "Peg Ted" a bear who is peg feed! https://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/books/children
