An unusual new toothbrush has just been launched on to the market… Dr Barman's Superbrush is a triple headed brush that cleans three surfaces of the teeth and gum margins simultaneously.
Dr Rolf Barman's research found that 80% of people brush their teeth ineffectively for less than one minute. Professional colleagues reported decades of patients failing to adopt a regular and effective two minute brushing routine twice a day.
Dr Barman's Superbrush is designed to clean more effectively in one minute than conventional toothbrush designs. Its bristles are longer and softer on the outside where they are angled precisely to make contact along inner and outer gum margins. Firmer bristles at the centre of the brush clean the enamel and the fluoride in toothpaste will spread evenly to all surfaces.
It is available in the UK in infant, junior and adult sizes distributed by Dent-O-Care Ltd. Telephone free on 0800 980 1517 or email kproven@dentocare.co.uk for order enquiries and information.
