Question about sonic toothbrushes

[RJayne]

Hi guys, this is just a quick question but I've had no joy with Google or searching previous threads so I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I've got a sonic toothbrush (the Braun Pulsonic) and I do like the clean I get from it but if I use it consistently I start to get pain in just one particular tooth and I can't understand why? It causes this tooth to become very tender to gentle force in any direction but its not too bad to bite down with, also the vibrations themselves start to hurt after a bit. It's not a constant toothache, manual brushing solves the issue but I'd like to use my sonic regularly and there's no bleeding/inflammation when it happens. The only thing that seems to match the feeling is a slight crack but I'm not sure that's the case. Has anyone had a similar issue or have any ideas? Can sonic just be too much for some teeth?

Thanks for any insight on this, I think I'll go manual for a few days now, I want to be able to enjoy Christmas Dinner, and on that note merry Christmas to all you lovely folks out there on the boards

Hiya, unfortunately I have no idea what might be causing that sort of pain - just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas ! Enjoy your xmas dinner!!

That's OK, it's not like I have to use it, thankfully! Merry Christmas to you too! Have a good one

I'm just doing a cheeky thread bump incase anyone has any idea about the sonic issue, though doing so on new years eve might be about as sensible as it was to post on Christmas eve...

Have a good one folks, best dental wishes for the year too come, here's to being brave!

Maybe try to see if for some reason you apply too much pressure on that tooth when using that brush. I noticed with my electric toothbrush that I would sometimes apply a bit more pressure then needed in certain spots and would feel better when I was mindful of the pressure I would apply.

You may be right, it's in a slightly odd position so that's definitely possible, I'll keep that in mind thanks
