Electric toothbrushes

[james87]

Ok so been a while but I was wondering what you fellow Raynauds folks use when it comes to electric toothbrushes? I’ve tried using electric shaver when I first started shaving and Raynauds soon kicked in. Any suggestions?

Could you please tell me what is the connection between Raynauds and electric tooth brushes?

The vibration often set off my Raynauds several years ago

I had the same problem with the electric toothbrush. Having Scleroderma and Raynauds it was breaking my teeth and giving lots of pain in my jaw up to my ears. I ended up having to see a specialist doctor at the hospital. This has been a while ago now. They recommended that I use TEPE small head medium toothbrushes. They are what the dental doctors themselves use. And they are very good. They gave me one to go away with to try. The small head gets in all the places. They are dearer than every day off the shelf larger head toothbrushes. But affordable. Available from Amazon. Give them a try you will never have any other brush. Just bought some more this week.

I use the Sonicare. More expensive but it does a GREAT job. But I have been having problems with sores on tips of fingers and think I will try the TEPE someone recommended from,Amazon, and see if that makes a difference.

Oral B with the round headed brush, no problems regarding Raynauds.
