Adel Elseri and Said Fayad, who live in Edmonton, Canada, have unveiled a prototype of the Tongue To Teeth (T2T) toothbrush that fits on the tongue. The Edmonton Journal, a local newspaper in Edmonton, reports.

T2T is a single-use toothbrush that you can wear on your tongue. The surface is coated with toothpaste so you don't have to apply it by hand. Fayad explains why he developed T2T:


"You can brush your teeth without using your hands (with T2T). It's important to be hygienic."


Fayad points out that various viruses and fungi are attached to the hands. T2T is said to prevent such viruses and fungi from entering the body from the hands via a toothbrush.


T2T also seems to be effective in removing food stuck between teeth. Not only is it more hygienic than removing it with a finger, but it is often better to remove it with the tongue than using a toothpick.
