| A running tap uses 15 Litres of fresh water per minute. By using the GRAYhatch Fillable Toothbrush, the savings are dramatic. | | The benefits to the environment and the consumer's wallet are significant, but the health benefits also need to be considered. Brushing of teeth often leads to particles of blood being released into our mouths from damaged gums. If you have a blood borne virus or an illness it is likely to be passed on to other people in the house through brush to brush contact in the toothbrush holder. | | Using the GRAYhatch toothbrush and simply adding appropriate mouthwash to the brush, it can be kept sterile and safe whilst at the same time providing the benefits that mouthwashes provide to the gums and teeth. | | In tests, it was shown that over 85% of children leave the tap running whilst brushing their teeth. In contrast, the toothbrush holds 7ml of water and provides water for 2 to 3 minutes in small doses whilst the teeth are being brushed. |  Water Filled Toothbrush Patent |  GRAYhatch Patented Water Filled Toothbrush | | The British Dental Association advises us to brush our teeth for 3 minutes in order to clean them properly. If like many of us you have children you will agree that no matter how many times you tell them, they still leave the water running the whole time they are brushing. | To put the wastage into perspective, if an average of 30 Litres of water are poured down the sink each time someone brushes their teeth, then for twice a day, every day of the year, a staggering 21,900 Litres (4820 gallons) is wasted by each consumer just brushing their teeth. | | The GRAYhatch Fillable Toothbrush uses a fraction of this wasted water. Better still, it allows the use of bottled water or a mouthwash mixture, ideal for locations where fresh drinking water is not available, on holiday, in hotels or just travelling. There is a clear window on the handle which indicates when you have been brushing for 3 minutes. | | Click on the images to enlage |  Water Filled Toothbrushes and Package |  Water Filled Toothbrushes Standing Up |  Water Filled Toothbrushes in Packaging |   |
