Letter: Dental ineptitude

Published 22 February 2003

From Andrew Pearson

As a dentist, I feel it necessary to point out that, although the toothbrush may be the invention that most of us feel that we cannot do without (1 February, p 7), it also seems to be the invention that most of my patients have trouble using effectively. Maybe the instructions need to be easier to understand.
