DISPOSABLE TOOTHBRUSH HAVING MINT FLAVORED TOOTHPASTE COMPOSITION BONDED TO BRISTLES THEREOF

摘要

A flavored toothpaste composition is bonded to the bristles of a disposable toothbrush by a process which involves the chemical grafting and polymerizing of selected monomers and prepolymers to the bristl es via a free radical mechanism. This process locks in t he flavor until the product can be utilized. When the toothpaste is brought int o contact with an aqueous medium, such as saliva in the oral cavity, the toothpaste dissolves thereby releasing the desired flavor to the teeth and oral cavity.
