Disadvantages: none

I would like to tell you about Braun Aural B Toothbrush
My son Ross as you all most of you know by now has Cerebral Palsy and for years he had trouble cleaning his teeth.

He used to get a lot of mouth ulcers as he hasn’t got good hand control and used to have a lot of tremors. With the result his teeth were never as white as they should have been.

He was forever breaking his toothbrushes and this was putting him off doing his teeth.I saw the Braun toothbrush advertised in the paper and I thought I would give it a go.

It’s quite a while since we got it but I think I paid about £15 and the replacement heads were about £5 for a pack of two. I know you can get them for a lot less now in Semi Chem.

We took it home and we had to plug it in for about sixteen hours for the first charge

It had its own wee charger that you sat it on and it had a wee two pin plug to connect it to the electric point.I found with practise that once a wek plugged in with the charger was enough to keep it going no bother .

If on the odd occasion I forgot Ross would tell me it was slowing down .it was so easy to charge as it was just placed on the wee stand and left to do its work. It would be ideal to take on holiday with you.

It had quite a thick handle and was really good for Ross as it gave him a really good grip as he cant really control his grip if something is too thin.

It had blue and white bristles that went a lighter colour as you used them and they needed replaced. The head also rotates quite fast.

The first time Ross used it he couldn’t believe the difference in the whiteness of his teeth and he was able to control it no bother.
The only drawback was he had to remember to put it in his mouth before he started it and before he took it out. My bathroom mirror had white spots every day for ages until he got used to it
What was really good as well was the on and off control
they were housed together under a blue rubber ring which you pushed in for on and off. This made handling it very easy for people with problems with their hands
We couldn’t believe the difference it made to Ross being able to control this himself and how easy it was to handle it
Now the sad ending to this story is that last week Ross took a tremor as he was taking his brush from the shelf in the bathroom and he dropped it down the loo. We had a really good laugh about it at the time and I offered to clean it with my steamer and put a new head on it but he insisted no way LOL
So I will be reading the rest of the Opinions on here and I will be off to the shops to buy him a new one. He can’t have new specs and brown teeth now can he?

Oh! Mam Oh! Mam what will I do
I’ve dropped my toothbrush down the loo
My teeth will no longer be nice and white
My toothbrush will now be all s***e
Don’t worry pal I’ll get you another
Just you trust you’re smart wee mother
Your teeth they will soon be gleaming
And the girls will all be screaming

Ps I'm sorry I couldnt tell you when It had to be replaced as silly Ross let it fall down the loo and again I'm sorry I couldn't tell you how long a charge lasted as I recharged it every weekend .

hope you enjoyed the read :O)
