Cleaning Teeth was created by barbaraposner
I have baths regularly as I find this quite soothing. However I often forget to actually wash and not just lie there. I also regularly forget or can't motivate myself to clean my teeth. Prompting would solve this problem.

My partner and myself have MH issues. He needs reminding to clean his teeth but he can wash himself more or less regularly without prompting. Would he score points for this?

I think they would struggle to score points on the information you have posted, whilst they may be able to argue that cleaning their teeth is part of washing, I think it will be diminished by the fact that they appear to be able to wash without problem.

The Descriptors define bathing but not washing but I think that those assessing them will see the requirement as being cleaning of the body, especially if you look at the requirements for the other Descriptors for this activity.

However, you lose nothing by arguing your case.
