The First Eco-Friendly Toothbrush

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency's 2006 estimation, an average citizen used two gallons of water everyday just for brushing their teeth and oral hygiene. A new revolutionary toothbrush could preserve this water use.

The Aqua Free Toothbrush made its debut at the Greater New York Dental Meeting and Convention earlier this month in front of 57,000 healthcare professionals.

This toothbrush contains a special liquid that flows from a built-in tank in the handle to the bristles to clean the teeth. Unlike toothpaste, this special liquid does not need to be rinsed so we can save the use of water everytime we brushing our teeth.

In the upcoming months, over 100,000 free brushes will be gave to local schoolchildren in New York city and Long Island to conserve over two million gallons of water a day.
