In partnership with Penn State's Center for Biodevices, Baby’s Breath is looking to improve the design of their GUMS N BRUSH oral hygiene care products. Baby's Breath is a pediatric oral care company dedicated to improving the overall oral health and the body’s immune system by maintaining a balanced oral microbiome, along with providing benefits for the immune system. GUMS N BRUSH is an all in one double sided toothbrush that will offer an all-natural liquid/gel formulation inside of the toothbrush that will be refillable. The capstone team is tasked with creating a functional prototype of the toothbrush with in-built delivery system that allows the liquid/gel to be dispensed on both the bristles and water absorbent sponge sides of the toothbrush. Additional criteria in the GUMS N BRUSH design is to create a device suitable for ages 0-10 years old that is non-toxic, BPA free, and manufactured from sustainable materials.
