The toothbrush enables users to employ a unique brushing action by utilizing two sets of molded microfilaments, angled for optimum brushing efficiency, gentleness, and comfort.
The Gumsaver toothbrush.It was developed by Rima Hassan, BDS, and Hani Mostafa, BDS, partners in the Gallery Dentist in Leamington, with the commercial design from Dolton & Dex, an industrial design firm.
The product will be available "soon," according to Dr. Hassan and Dr. Mostafa.
