A new type of toothbrush could help people to implement their emergency dentistry prevention regime.
Kawamura Ganjavian's Twist&Brush has a hollow reservoir instead of a handle, which can be filled with toothpaste.
It also has measurements on a clear window in a similar fashion to a syringe, meaning that exact amounts can be piped through to the brush head.
Although the gadget is designed for travellers and minimises the number of items people will need to carry on trips, it could also be useful for children and those who are unsure how much toothpaste to use during everyday emergency dentistry prevention.
The Twist&Brush is simply refilled using any kind of toothpaste when it runs out.
According to Gentle Dental Care, adults often use too much toothpaste. Contrary to popular belief, only a dab the size of a large pea is required each time, with a small pea-sized amount suitable for children under six.
