This post is actually inspired by a fellow dental blogger, Tammy Davenport over at the About.com Dentistry Blog. She published a post today that is just too important to ignore.
Her post highlighted the admirable efforts of a company by the name of Orawave. Orawave is a dental product manufacturer that produces such things as toothbrushes, flossing apparatus, denture brushes, and the like. One of the unique aspects of Orawave is their acute sense of social responsibility in the form of charity. What specifically caught my attention was their dedication to supporting breast cancer awareness.
As a tangible showing of their dedication to breast cancer awareness, Orawave is currently offering what they call the “Pink Ribbon” 2-Minute TwinSpin Power Toothbrush(view image) for $6.99. The “Pink Ribbon” 2 is available in both white and pink colors, and comes packaged in a beautiful display case.
What makes this great offer special is that Orawave is donating 10% of sales to The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to fund breast cancer research, education, treatment and screening, according to Davenport.
Breast cancer is a horrible disease, and one that profoundly impacts many peoples’ lives. Its nice this day and age to see a company committed to such an important cause, and I hope we as a society will support such causes.

We at Orawave appreciate your kind comments. We want to do our part to end this awful disease and Komen is a wonderful organization. It is difficult, as a small company, to make people aware of your product…….even when it is better than the leading competitors in the market. We are working hard to get more retailers to carry the products, so we can raise more money to fight Breast Cancer.

That’s a great idea. I’m not sure if they’ve figured that into their marketing plan, but it is worth exploring.

This is a wonderful effort on the part of Orawave. Personally, I know of two people who have passed away from Breast Cancer. Def more research is needed to fight this horrible disease. Thank you for sharing this information on your Blog Corey. -N.J
