Two dental students from Queen's University Belfast have designed a brand new oral health product: Flipper Hygienic Toothbrush Holders, distributed exclusively by CW Distributions.

Flipper anti-bacterial toothbrush holders offer a cleaner, more hygienic and fun way to store toothbrushes. The children's ranges are intended to motivate children into looking after their oral health. The 'Animo Jr' range features 12 animal designs including a giraffe, tiger, pig, panda and cow; in 'ToothFairy' there are 12 attractive and colourful tooth-shaped designs, each with a name such as 'Kisses', 'Lime' and 'Yeah!'

There is also an adult version of the product, 'Basic', with a sleek and simple design.

Fourth year students William Maguire and Callum McCandless developed the Hygienic Toothbrush Holders after spending time on work placements in the community at schools and youth centres. They even plan to branch out into a teenage range and to produce an anti-bacterial razor holder.

The young entrepreneurs hope to give something back to their community through raising awareness of good oral health and at the same time the products should help them pay off their student loans.

Many dental practices already stock the Hygienic Toothbrush Holders, as well as MediCare - the largest chemist retail chain in Northern Ireland - and a number of smaller chains.
