Could an electric toothbrush but classed as an aid if you found it easier and less painful to use due to arthritic hands than a conventional toothbrush?

You can try arguing that it is but I think you will struggle, you would need to show that you could not brush your teeth without one and why and you also have the issue of showing that cleaning your teeth is reasonably a required activity for Washing and Bathing as none of the Descriptors refer to this.
