Gumsaver toothbrush takes shape

European Plastics News staff

Posted 16 January 2012

Gumsaver is a new design concept in oral health: a toothbrush which removes bacteria, food debris and plaque by brushing the tooth below the gum line. This helps prevent gum infection and tooth decay.

UK design group Dolton & Dex, which devised the concept, said the product has two sets of moulded microfilaments, angled for optimum brushing efficiency, gentleness and comfort.

Dolton & Dex carried out the research and development cycle for its client, taking in initial concept design and injection moulding tool design through to managing volume manufacture.
