The product was created in collaboration with dental experts and doesn't compromise when it comes to quality, efficiency or design. The product is made in Sweden within a manufacturing plant that uses 100% green energy. Made from 96% bio-based plastic, the toothbrush is suited for older children and adults, and it includes design features like a tapered head and end-rounded filaments to provide a gentle yet effective cleaning. The toothbrush was recently recognized as the Dental Care Product of the Year in Australia’s largest independent consumer survey.
