Vibrating Tooth Massager
This device is used to massage the teeth in order to make them feel healthy and to freshen breath. Prior to its invention, people would chew mint leaves and brush their teeth with frayed sticks.
Utility
It is used to clean teeth and massage gums. And also to brush ferrets, if the mood strikes.
Manufacturing
Professor Gander holds the manufacturing process as a closely guarded secret. He manufactures the brushes from his shop by special order only.
Social Impact
People began to smile more once they started using the device. Relationships were smoother because of fresh breath. Short-term studies suggest that people are even living longer because of keeping their teeth into their old age, making taking in nutrients possible far into their 70s.
Access & Availability
The vibrating tooth massager is expensive to buy and maintain. It requires a magical charge by a witch once a week. Thus, it is only owned by the rich. There is a less expensive version, called the static tooth massager, that is available to the less wealthy. It's an improvement from brushing with sticks.
Complexity
The vibrating tooth massager is a complex tool, made out of metal and trapper hog bristles. It is powered by a magic core that must be removed and recharged once a week by a magic user.
Discovery
The vibrating tooth massager was invented in 1875 when an inventor, Professor Gander, was trying to come up with a design for an automatic ferret brush. The inventor was trying to figure out how to mount the brush to a stand so the ferret could walk up to it and be brushed whenever it wanted. He absentmindedly put it in his mouth and found it cleaned his teeth and felt nice on his gums. It is unclear if this was before or after he tested it on the ferret.
