Ok folks, any idea what the best electric toothbrush is for Raynaud's peeps?

Ooh, not sure, I still use the standard manual model hehe And on a bad day i throw it around the room whilst brushing my teeth because I can't grip it. Would probably electricute myself with a powered one LOL

I'm not sure I understand - why would Raynaud's affect what kind of toothbrush you use?

[David464 in reply to lozzarox]

thanks to the vibration my previous electric toothbrush I had set my Raynaud's off terribly. Now gripping my manual is too much on bad days. Also can't use the electric pulse gillete razor (the battery one) as it does the same.

I have a basic Oreal B electric toothbrush, I find the slightly chunkier handle easier to hold than a manual brush and there is less pressure used on the hands so if my hands are numb it's easier to hold.

Also most electric ones are detachable from the powered base so there isn't a electricution risk.

Hi David, hehe - I use the Braun - Oral B Electric Toothbrush. Does not seem to vibrate too much and find it ok to use.
