| Description | Green, "Squibb" brand angled transparent toothbrush in retail packaging. Squibb pioneered the angled toothbrush as early as 1946, long before Johnson & Johnson introduced the better-known angled TEK brush. A Squibb ad from 1946 boasted "'I can actually get at my back teeth now' is the surprised comment of many users. 'I would never go back to my old-style brush.' A practicing dentist designed this brush with its patented 'mouth-mirror' angle and the small head to reach 'forgotten' places. The angle helps you clean every surface, every crevice. By the way, children can use this brush with ease, and do a good job too. Six colors. Your choice of hard or medium bristles" |
