Description: |
Getting children to brush their teeth properly can be every parents nightmare. When electric toothbrushes became available to the general public in the 1960s, dentists hoped that it would make brushing teeth easier and more thorough, creating better oral hygiene for regular users. Incorporating cartoon and storybook characters into the toothbrush and holder make brushing more fun and therefore attract children to this twice daily ritual. |
