Don’t Give This Company The Brush Off? Brüush Offers Mid-Priced Electric Toothbrush In An Interesting Market

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

While the jury’s still out on whether electric toothbrushes are more effective than manual ones, a number of companies are betting consumers will increasingly adopt them. https://profiles.smallcapsdaily.com/bruush/ The American Dental Association says both manual and electric brushes remove plaque and bacteria from teeth — so long as you’re using a proper brushing technique. More recently, the Journal of the American Dental Association published a survey that found that 13,000 out of 16,000 patients who used an electric toothbrush reported better oral health. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. Some are betting big with high-priced devices, while others are banking on consumers looking for value. And then there are those that fall somewhere in the middle. Koninklijke Philips N.V.’ s (NYSE: PHG) Sonicare line has a variety of options, with the least expensive starting at about $20 and the company’s most advanced electric toothbrush — which gets guidance from an app using artificial intelligence — selling for $380. Joining Philips with a lower-end offering is Quip. Starter kits for Quip’s adult electric toothbrushes start at $20. You get the handle with three-month battery life, a soft-bristle brush head and a cover. Quip will send you a new brush head and free battery every three months for $5. Brushing Off The Competition? Then there’s Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH), which says it takes the confusion out of deciding what to buy with its $79 electric toothbrush kit. Brüush, which comes in three core colors and the seasonal colors, has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher. The company’s website says Gentle makes smiles clean and bright, while the Tongue mode keeps your mouth smelling fresh. Brüush estimates 70% of its customer base is between ages 18 and 45 years old, a group that’s under-penetrated compared to baby boomers in terms of using an electric toothbrush. This age group also consists of the first digital generations when it comes to shopping and e-commerce brand loyalty to businesses like Apple Inc. (AAPL), perhaps a positive for a company where the website accounts for the majority of sales. If you’re in the market for an electric toothbrush, Brüush says to be sure to buy one that comfortably fits inside your mouth — usually, smaller is better so you can maneuver it to make sure you’re brushing all your teeth. Looking for a brush with soft bristles that are gentle on teeth and gums to avoid irritation is a good idea — a self-timer feature also is recommended to ensure you brush the full two minutes dentists recommend. Toothbrush heads should be replaced every 12 weeks — which makes Brüush’s subscription model that sends customers three new brush heads for $18 every six months a convenient way to stay on top of changing them. By comparison, replacing brush heads for Sonicare products can cost as much as $43 for a three-pack, and the price of the Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) Oral-B line of replacement brush heads reaches as high as $40 for a three-pack. Visit Brüush’s website to learn more about the company and its products. About Bruush Oral Care Inc. Bruush Oral Care Inc. is on a mission to inspire confidence through brighter smiles and better oral health. Founded in 2018, Brüush is an oral care company that is disrupting the space by reducing the barriers between consumers and access to premium oral care products. The Company is an e-commerce business with a product portfolio that currently consists of a sonic-powered electric toothbrush kit and brush head refills. Brüush has developed a product to make upgrading to an electric brush appealing with three core priorities in mind: (i) a high-quality electric toothbrush at a more affordable price than a comparable electric toothbrush from the competition; (ii) a sleek, countertop-friendly design; and (iii) a convenient brush head refill subscription program that eliminates the frustrating experience of purchasing replacement brush heads at the grocery/drug store. The Company is rooted in building a brand that creates relevant experiences and content, with the goal of becoming the go-to oral care brand for millennials and Generation Z.For more information on Bruush Oral Care Inc visit https://bruush.com.

Nasal-spraying LiveSpo NAVAX: Probiotics of the next generation for respiratory infections

LiveSpo

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 15 August 2022 - On July 20 nd, the Scientific Reports journal (the Nature) officially annouced a break-through research on using LiveSpo NAVAX probiotic spores in nasal spray form to support the treatment of acute respiratory infections in children infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [1] Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (ARTIs) in young children. The World Health Organization estimates that 48,000-74,000 children - younger than five years old die yearly due to RSV infection. Up to now, there is no available vaccine and specific treatment for RSV-infected children. Researchers at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital conducted the first clinical trial in infected children with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). They demonstrated the safety and beneficial effects of a nasal-spraying liquid suspension of Bacillus spore probiotics (LiveSpo® NAVAX) in the supportive treatment of ARTIs. The research team published results showing that the nasal-spraying LiveSpo NAVAX) reduced the load of RSV and influenza virus by 300-fold and 1000-fold, and was 50- to 70-fold more effective than physiological saline after 2-3 days of treatment. Semi-quantitative real-time PCR results of co-infection bacteria on day three of treatment show that patients in the NAVAX) group (spraying probiotics spores) were negative while patients in the control group (not using probiotic spores) only had a slight decrease in bacterial co-infection concentration. The team also assessed that the nasal-spraying Bacillus spores could rapidly and effectively relieve symptoms of RSV-induced ARTIs while exhibiting a strong effect in reducing viral load and inflammation. Nasal-spraying probiotics may provide the basis for simple, low-cost, and effective symptomatic adjuvant treatment against viral infections. Dr. Nguyen Hoa Anh - Director of Sporebiotics Research Center said: “The interaction mechanism between LiveSpo NAVAX) 's Bacillus spores and the virus and the nasal mucosal immune system is based on nonspecific binding suggesting that LiveSpo Navax may be helpful against viral variants that cause respiratory diseases or other rapidly emerging respiratory viruses such as influenza virus or coronavirus. The research is a breakthrough scientific achievement, contributing to enhancing the image of Vietnam in the field of science in the international arena and making a great contribution to public health care, especially for children.

This Electric Toothbrush Has 6 Cleaning Modes For Reportedly Brighter Smiles

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

https://profiles.smallcapsdaily.com/bruush/ Toothbrushes have come a long way since Babylonians and Egyptians started brushing their teeth with frayed twigs around 3000 BCE. The first more modern toothbrush with a handle carved from cattle bone and a brush made from swine bristles was produced in England around 1780. Natural bristles were used until DuPont de Nemours Inc. (NYSE: DD) invented nylon, which started the development of the truly modern toothbrush in 1938 and the first electric toothbrush in 1939. Although electric toothbrushes date back more than 80 years, they have seemingly not achieved widespread adoption. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. Electric toothbrushes clean teeth, gums and tongue by using rotation or side-by-side movement of the head. Electric toothbrushes are an effective way to remove plaque and reduce gingivitis, and studies show they are more thorough at cleaning teeth than traditional manual toothbrushes. But the moderate adoption rate of the devices arguably demonstrates that consumers need to be educated and provided compelling value propositions to buy them. Cost is a major constraint to the market, and people don’t see them as an attractive addition to their bathroom countertops. Better Brushing? Enter Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH). While most electric toothbrushes provide 500 strokes per minute, Brüush says its model provides up to 31,000 strokes per minute, attacking plaque 100 times more vigorously than a manual toothbrush. Brüush has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher. The Brüush lithium-ion battery is built to last four weeks on a single charge, and the compact magnetic case makes traveling with the device convenient. The Brüush toothbrush, which comes in five colors with three brush heads and a USB power adapter and charger, retails for $79. And if you sign up for a subscription, Brüush will send you three new brush heads every six months for $18 — that’s just $6 per brush head. Replacing brush heads for Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s (NYSE: PHG) Sonicare can cost as much as $43 for a three-pack, and the price of Procter & Gamble Co.
