Norco Dental

Philip is co-founder at Norco Dental, an innovative oral healthcare company working to radically reinvent the interdental brush. These are products that are used to clean in-between teeth, removing plaque from the 40% of surfaces that your toothbrush can’t reach and are used by over 8 million people in the UK alone. Unfortunately, due to the way they’re currently designed, they often fail to survive even one cleaning effort – making necessary daily use a laborious and time-consuming activity. Consequently, many people end up neglecting their oral health and suffer as a result.

Our ambition is to create a more sustainable alternative to currently available products, that in addition, far beats the user experience many patients feel is desperately lacking. We believe that people should feel empowered to keep their oral hygiene in the best condition possible, not bogged down by expensive tools which make it a chore.
