A dental hygienist in the States has developed a new way to achieve interdental cleaning.

Following the controversial findings that challenged the beneficial uses of dental floss, Lisa Guenst has invented ToothShower.

She says: 'I know my patients challenges all too well, having been a dental hygienist for more than 25 years. Patients often complain that flossing is a struggle and not something they do often. Others who have tired water flossing find it too cumbersome because it makes a mess, requires constant water refills, and takes up too much space on the counter. I know there had to be an easier but more effective method of care.'

To address the need for better oral health care while minimising the negatives of other methods, Guenst created ToothShower, which is a new innovative complete oral care solution for the shower.

ToothShower offers three kinds of cleaning in one care solution. Along with a base that attaches to the shower wall there are three different attachments for optimum oral care including a dual-headed toothbrush, an irrigating tip, and a gum massager. And, it works right in the shower so there is no mess. Water from the shower keeps ToothShower filled so there is no refilling, batteries to replace, and it doesn’t take up counter space.

There is a one-time installation. Users attach the wall plate with the waterproof adhesive, lock the console onto the plate, attach the valve to the showerhead, and finally connect the ToothShower to the valve. The user can control both the water pressure and the temperature to their comfort.

Guenst has already won awards for her new business plan for the product. She was the Grand Prize Winner in the West Chester University Business Idea Pitch 2017 and first place winner in the Temple University, Fox School of Business, Business Plan Competition 2017. The ToothShower has just been released for presales on KickStarter – offering significant discounts for those interested in ordering early.
