Sugar bugs don't just contribute to cavity creation, if they enter the blood stream and make themselves at home, Type 2 diabetes could come knocking. Our toothbrushes (yes, both kids and adult ones!) are waaay more effective at removing sugar bugs than a typical manual brush. It's thanks to dense, tapered, multi-length bristles and sonic vibrations that shake the sugar bugs loose from their hideouts so you can spit them into the sink and send them on their way.
