Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / February 2007Electric toothbrush causing sinus and post nasal drip?
For the last 7 years or so I've used a Sonicare toothbrush. Recently the battery totally died and while I was in the process of researching which electric toothbrush to buy next, I was using a manual toothbrush. After a few days of using the manual I discovered that my post nasal drip had gotten a little better. I decided to keep using the manual brush and my PND is barely noticeable now. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing happening? On 2/22/07 3:27 PM, in article 45de26bd$0$5810$4c368faf@roadrunner.com, > For the last 7 years or so I've used a Sonicare toothbrush.

Any kind of dental or gingival condition can spread infection. Clearing the gingimal condition can have beneficial effect on all sorts of conditions. > On 2/22/07 3:27 PM, in article 45de26bd$0$5810$4c368faf@roadrunner.com, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > the gingimal condition can have beneficial effect on all sorts of > conditions. What? How would switching toothbrushes clear the "gingimal condition", especially going from an electric to manual?

I am postulating a possible condition where the electric brush is so traumatic that it causes bacteria to enter the blood stream whereas the manual is too gentle. Either way, IF this is the case, attention to dental condition should be looked at. What your situation is I have no idea, the above is just a hypothesis. >> On 2/22/07 3:27 PM, in article >> 45de26bd$0$5810$4c368faf@roadrunner.com, "TissuePaper" [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > What?

Perhaps your Sonicare had mold growing on it or inside it, and once you stopped putting it near your face, you were no longer breathing in the mold. The brush end of any toothbrush can get moldy very easily, as well as harbor other pathogens that grow in the moisture. SignatureSteven D.

I use a manual brush and change mine every 3 months. If I had a cold or a sinus infection recently I always change my brush after it too. shirleyann
