Oral care sponges (toothettes) are foam swabs used to maintain oral hygiene in those who cannot tolerate brushing with a regular toothbrush.
A controlled trial in the general population concluded that a toothbrush is more effective than a foam swab for plaque removal, and therefore not as effective as a toothbrush for dental care. The decision to use oral care sponges should take into consideration the oral health of each person and would be best guided by a medical professional.
