What a brush!<\/span><\/h4>\n

I had the great pleasure last week of appearing on Talk Sport to discuss the flossing furore. Little did I know that I would become party to the invention of a new toothbrush!\u00a0Hosting the show that morning were the legendary 2 Mikes – Mike ‘Porky’ Parry and Mike ‘Old MG’ Graham. <\/a><\/p>\n

Now, over the year,\u00a0regular listeners to\u00a0Porky Parry, will know that he is not backwards in coming forwards where he thinks improvement can be made. This is especially so in the area of labour saving devices!\u00a0So the hot topic of flossing<\/a> meant that Mike had a dentist (Me!!) ‘captive on air’ to run his new innovation past.<\/p>\n

And you must all agree – it’s a winner!!<\/p>\n

So my first thought is are Philips, Oral-B, Colgate, Panasonic, Walter\u00a0Pik et al ready for the competition? How will they react? Is the easiest thing just to approach Mike and try to buy all the design rights off him – doubtless for a princely sum?<\/p>\n

Finally, a new toothbrush, and dare I say the dawn of a new era in dental hygiene!<\/p>\n
